Mississippi Gulf Coast Photos, taken right after Hurricane Katrina. I lived on the Tchoutacabouffa River in Biloxi. I was trapped on my roof during the entire storm. I had to swim out a bathroom window. The house was 2 stories, and set way back from the river, about 10 miles inland. The storm surge there was about 25 ft. I don't care what FEMA says, I lived through it and there was alot of wind, sucked part of the bedroom wall right off. The Cat is a photo I took after waiting in line for gas for about 4 hrs., a truck pulled up next to us and had a trailer attached, and this is what they chose to salvage. It looked pretty freaked out and scared, which is exactly how I felt at the moment, so I was simpatico. Enjoy.
