We just returned from a two-week trip in Mississippi, helping family members with basic things like water, food and electric power. Out of nine children, one brother and one sister lost their homes completely and two other homes are unlivable--one in the New Orleans area and the other in Bay St. Louis. We are blessed though, in that no family members perished in either Louisiana or Mississippi. Having seen the Waveland-Bay St. Louis-Pass Christian areas first hand, I can report that the destruction is beyond description. We also did some work in the Gautier-Pascagoula areas and even that far east from the eye's landfall, any homes near the beach or local bodies of water have been destroyed. This one packed less winds than Camille but the storm surge was much higher and covered the entire Miss coast and parts of Alabama too.

Glad to hear that your family is OK. After all, that is the most important thing. I remember going through the Biloxi area days after Camille and it was unbelievable. I have gotten lots pics of the area and cannot believe the devastation. I am from the Baton Rouge area so I know all about the hurricanes...

Are they blaming it on President Bush, and if not, why not?

No blame game here--they're just trying to survive. I think there's enough folks blaming the president already, and not just for the hurricanes--anything else they can think of too....

The ones that stayed with us for 10 days (6 of them) are part of a clan that has lived in the area for centuries. To live elsewhere is unthinkable..... well almost.

The 43 year old woman (middle aged clan person....some older, some younger) who lost everything and cut her leg trying to grapple onto a second story roof during the storm surge, and has gan green in the wound, in remission (thankgoodness), has mentioned that when she and FEMA negotiate payment for her home, she will place the next one (trailer house) up towards Hattiesburg, not on a creek in the Back Bay area like the last one.
