Katrina Picture Links

My apologies if the pictures aren't the greatest quality. They're shot from a camera phone while driving.

* This is a shot of the First Baptist Church in Gulfport.

* A shot of one of the many neighborhoods that was devastated by Katrina.

* The gutted remains of the Crescent School of Gaming at the corner of Highway 90 and 49.

http://myweb.cableone.net/tnewkirk/katrina/onlyone.jpg
* That was the only condo in Gulfport that withstood Katrina, and it's unihabitable.

* This is the remains of a beach park in Gulfport.

* The backstory on this ship is that it survived Hurricane Camille in 1969. Ironically, it survived Katrina in 2005, but the Pizza Hut that was on the right and the IHOP on the left of it didn't make it.
