Jacked these from another forum. These aren't my pics or my captions so they might not make sense. I can't link the forum I got them from to here or I'm sure Yarr would be pissed. lol

Church in Gulfport just on the other side of the coastal highway:


Copa Casina in Gulfport sitting in the middle of a giant parking lot:


Slab of concrete in Gulfport where a house once was:


My Aunts street in Biloxi, with the top of a house in the middle of it. You can't see the street but the house is pretty much in dead center of it.


Casino Bargo on the other side of the hwy in Biloxi:


Another view of same casino, that's our car next to it just to give an idea how big it was. My brother in law in the hat and my dad on the right.


View of the coastline taken on hwy 90 in Biloxi:

Pic of Air Force 1 in at the airport in Gulfport when Bush was in town:


Couple of choppers at the same airport. These things were constantly flying overhead at all hours of day and night.


Snapped tree:


Boat sitting beside a roadway, saw a lot of this around:


Another one:


Sunken shrimping boat:

think of all the history lost too. some old grandmother's homes with family heirlooms that are hundreds of years old just wiped out

Those pictures are so surreal, its like a post-apocalyptic ghost town...

But those areas weren't even the ones that got flooded right? I found this video online yesterday.

i was watching the second season of survivor. they made their camp in a dry river bed and then it stormed and the river washed their shit away. so they built up out of the river bed and sure enough more floods came.

shame you cant just move new orleans ABOVE sea level heh




COme on. you KNOW that was the best example ever.

Those pics are all from the Mississippi gulfcoast. Those are all along the beach road there. I can remember taking trips down there when I was little and if you look to a part in the Biloxi area near the road you can see this old ship. The boat was just the kind that's in those piuctures you posted. I can remember asking my parents how did that boat ever get on land. They told me it was left there from Hurricane Camile as a reminder of how bad it was. Now with all these pictures as an adult I can finally see and understand just how devistating that is. I wonder what they will leave on land this time as a reminder? The Copa Casino? The Grand Casino's Kid's Quest area that broke off and floated 1.5miles down the street from where it originally was. Maybe they can leave some of the resort condos in Pass Christian in the middle of the road this time, so much to choose from.

Cad- The Mississippi Gulf Coast flooded as well, but since it is above sea level, gravity naturally drains it pretty quickly. All that damage you see in those pictures is wind damage and the big factor was the 25 ft+ storm surge. There was a video someone took from atop the Beau Rivage as the hurricane made landfall and you could see the storm surge, I'll see if I can dig it up.

Ok here is the video. Just a word of warning, when they say there is a storm surge of 25 ft. don't expect just this 25 foot wall of water coming in like in that scene from The Day After Tomorrow. Here is video from Gulfport, MS that two storm chasers took. For all those that haven't been through a hurricane in person, here is some of what it's like.
