Hurricane Katrina Aftermath, Aerial of Mississippi Coast by USGS 

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

@@johngilbanni5891 I miss the dirt track off of Menge. My mom and uncles used to race there.

@@crazydrummer181when did it close? I left in 2011. I always go out to Barry’s and see what’s there lol

@@johngilbanni5891 it’s been a long time. Probably between 2010 or 2011. I can’t even remember

Wow just wow

@@alliearceneaux550 thanks for replying. Yes, nearly 20 years after Katrina, the coast has recovered and is the shining jewel of the South 🤠🐻👋

@ScottRandolph-dd7dr yeah I live in Louisiana and it got hit by Katrina to but we didn’t have as much flooding and I got to Biloxi and Gulfport all the time and like you said a shining jewel

@@alliearceneaux550 thanks and Southern greetings to you 🤠🐻👋

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

@@AlanSeallsWeather I know. I just get frustrated by the lack of coverage. My Dad drove 90 after Camille and he said THAT looked like a nuclear bomb went off.

This version is not public domain since I added to it. You might find the original public domain version, somewhere online.

@@AlanSeallsWeather I hope this NEVER NEVER EVER happens again. That Gulf Coast Strip sad to say is very Vulnerable to Hurricanes. Even Hurricane Michael was awful.

Our water has never been clear lol

No it’s never been clear unless you go out past the islands

Dolphins never left. I saw some tonight in Biloxi while fishing lol.

There were several parts of the MS and AL coasts that were not included in the video, however, all of those coasts were captured in photos. Click on the date in the regional photos here, to see pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1033/html/ds1033_photos.html

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.

@@lynne6417 Yeah no thanks for your opinion though.

@@lynne6417 you know damn well she was a trained pro. This wasn't supposed to end up on the internet probably.

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.

When she said that the church was missing a wall she didnt sound no where happy about it. I have no clue of what you're hearing.
