WWW.Sunherald.com has a photo page. Under the section Pascagoula-Gulfport page, photo #8 was taken in front of my house. The white building in the background is my storeroom The top of the building in my yard is the neighbor's garage. Remarkably, my house (not shown) appears unhurt. I did get 15 inches of water and mud inside the house. We were very lucky compared to everyone.
I am one block off the beach, but now virtually have beachfront property. Senator Trent Lott's house WAS just to the west and down one block from where I live. It was leveled along with everything else beachfront. Our business got nine feet of water. Water, power, gas and food are a problem. I am currently in Alabama at our lake home with the grandbaby waiting to return when we have a place to stay. My home in Pascagoula is virtually the only thing on my block not severly damaged or destroyed. I am at fifteen feet above sea level and the house is about three feet off the ground, so storm surge was over nineteen feet where I live. When we recover from this, we are selling everything, if anything is sellable, and moving to Alabama. where most of my husband's family is.
I have experienced Camille, Elena, Frederick (in the eye) Georges, Ivan and now Katrina. NEVER again. This is a hell that is unimaginable. I cry for New Orleans. I love that city. I cry for the people of New Orleans. It will NEVER recover. 36 years after Camille, the coast still showed the scars and the "Stairs to nowhere". Now we have an new benchmark. God be with us all. I am a "lucky" one. It feels wrong to feel so overwhelmed when by comparison my losses are so much less. We did have some other losses, but as they say, "it's just stuff". I have the very most important thing with me in Alabama. I wish everyone else could say the same.
