  • Damage surveys after Hurricane Katrina were performed by the US Geological Survey, in 2005. This is the beaches and coastal communities of Mississippi, traveling westward through Harrison County. It begins in Biloxi, and then moves along US Highway 90 through Gulfport, Mississippi City, and Long Beach. I added locators and street names, although some locators reference what stands in the location in 2020, not necessarily in 2005.
    Search for "USGS Data Series 1033" to find high resolution photos of these same areas.

      I enjoyed the storm itself at my aunts off Menge Ave, but the months after, maybe longer for some, were horrible times.

    And no Hancock County? Katrina came ashore in Pearlington, the county's westernmost town, also on the LA/MS state line on the Pearl River. Mobile, to Long Beach. and you stop. We got over 30feet of surge. But someone says "it's less developed"...yeah it sure was on 8/31/05.

      This comes from a USGS flight, for which I had no control. There probably is another USGS flight over Hancock County but I've never seen it. You can find high resolution (before and after Katrina) aerial photos from USGS for Hancock County, and all counties eastward into northwest Florida at coastal.er.usgs.gov/hurricanes/tools/oblique.php?mission=Katrina2005#nav

    That woman is horribly annoying and insensitive. "This is good" -speaking about the destruction captured in the footage. Then I realized why. She took glory in saying "the church is missing its wall" and snickered. I guess she totally missed the Saint Michael the Archangel Church in Biloxi standing strong.

      You read too much into this. You have an idea that people were shocked and stunned by this, right? And the devestation was deadly? And people have to process this and give a clear report in what they are viewing in the air, when they are debriefed after this flight? There are several people along with the flight deck viewing this, all giving observation from shock.

      I can’t say about this specific situation, but I’ve been with news crews in helicopters in post disaster situations (the biggest of which was Tuscaloosa 2011), and when someone would say “This is good”, they were generally referring to whether or not the camera was in a position to capture the most footage.
      They didn’t say it for the amount of damage that they saw, as most crews were usually in just as much shock and grief as the people on the ground, but because the more area that they were able to capture, the more likely that viewers watching the footage were able to find landmarks to help them locate what they were seeing.
      Yes, this woman sounds a little happy, but grief and shock affect people in very different ways. I know a man who was laughing hysterically, with tears rolling down his face, as he gathered his daughter’s baby dolls from the crib where he thought his daughter was.
      Yes, his daughter was later found safe, but in that moment where he saw a baby leg, wearing his daughter’s onesie, was sticking out of his daughter’s crib, that man broke into hysterical laughter as he pulled what he thought was his daughter’s body from that debris.
      So unless you were there, you can only judge by a single voice, without knowing the context behind why those particular words were used.
