It was likely one of top 5-6 most profound times of my life
We toured the damage immediately... dad’s company was hired out for clean up with his heavy construction equipment

We had a place in Waveland for a year after the storm

Camille was deadly with super high winds..245 offshore

But slower weaker Katrina was worse..much worse

95% total concrete slab and dirt where pavement was destruction from Ocean Springs to Biloxi to Gulfport to Long Beach/Mississippi city to Pass Christian to Bay St Louis and Waveland

25 miles of beach front lost from US 90 inland for 2-400 yards

Amazing...like Dresden....at least in 2006 and 2007

Don’t know how it is now

Camille was bad but recovery happened...back to lush normal in 10-15 years plus the old live oaks and homes survived... not with Katrina

Few buildings....Beauvoir and I think the old Nunnery...a few others

Beauvoir is well built....it breathes they say.....
