Block and a half to city hall.
Quarter mile from the beach.
30º 20' 50 " N
89º 09' 17" W
Photos from Google Earth.

Day or two after Katrina.
The little white square is where my laundry room addition was.

You can see the debris line running across the pic with Magnolia St. as the line of demarcation.
The tan colored stuff is the wood from the homes, apartment complexes and businesses that were between us and the beach.

The green roof of the house to my south is centered in this shot.

July 11th just before Katrina.

Only 10 or 12 structures on the South / Beach side of Magnolia Street, that are in this picture, were still standing on the 30th of August

I went to help rebuild a house over there after Katrina; it was in Pascagoula. The beachs (what little beach MS has) was gone. LOL. They had couple of John Deeres out there with box blades pushing the beach back out. I also remembering seeing the water lines on some houses and this was couple miles away from the river and ocean. There were also casino coins litering the ground too.

I check in after not being on this site for awhile and this thread is still going strong. I need to get out there and take some more pictures to post on here.
