I had posted the following on another list and  a member
of this one suggested that I post these here.

I have said before that New Orleans gets all the publicity
on its damage.

The pics on this site  show what happened in Ms. and in
areas surrounding N. O.

Today I saw a pic of a residential subdivision in Cameron
Parish, La where every home was wiped out completely.
ALL homes were built 10 ft off the ground on pilings.
ONLY THE PILINGS WERE LEFT, not even debris, astounding.

EVERY home and building in Cameron Parish was destroyed
or substantially damaged except for the Court House.

Mississippi:

We frequent this entire area.  We will be passing thru in
March.  Only a few of the marinas are shown but all were
destroyed.

Take your time to go thru these very telling pics.  Notice
the great job being done by our National Guard troops.
Good going guys!!!!
