There are hundreds of pictures in this collection all along the Mississippi coastline. Way too many to post. Here are a sample. Definitely worth a look.

Oh, man, that really breaks my heart. I truly look forward to the day when we can put this behind us and move forward with dignity. And we will. God Bless the MS Gulf Coast. Sending some love to ya from, Sean in New Orleans.

What looks like a very large 4 story condo complex on the ocean, half obliterated by the surge. You can sort of see the foundations for the buildings, or what used to be them. This is in Gulfport.

Sometimes when I see these images I have tears in my eyes. So sad. I continue to pray daily for the hurricane victims. Thanks for sharing these, zlaxier.

Hey....that picture of the 4 story condo is where I parked and had lunch 2 days after Katrina. I was working on the MGC. I stopped there and had a tasty spaghetti MRE. While I was eating, there was a couple that lived in the far upper left condo all the way at the top. They were carrying out their valuables...what was left. It was extremely sad and overwhelming the entire time I was there.
