Our Search Dogs at the aftermath of Gulfport...

I was in Gulfport the day after the storm hit.


It sucked.

Did a lot of work on the (former) Gulfport VA.  The mayor would come in and see us every couple of days.  We were standing upstairs in one of the buildings one day and he showed us where the high water mark was.   Still hard to wrap my head around it.










That's a casino behind me.  Practically in the middle of US 90.  It used to be floating.

grew up there. Wasn't on coast for landfall but the aftermath was unbelievable and it's hard to imagine the water that high. Pisses me off that while the coast was leveled in places it got basically ignored due to the FSA trash in New Orleans.

I can relate. I rode Hurricane Ike out in High Island , Texas. We were surrounded by water for days. I lived about 7 miles down the coast in Gilchrist and it erased the town. Sad memories for sure.

while you are right, you need to understand that it is a bit of a culture thing. At least in south MS, the older generations always "tough" it out. Just how it is. people who lived right on the beach would go stay with family/friends further inland. These people are not FSA and started cleaning up/rebuilding the day after.

In a storm surge area, absolutely go inland. Anywhere else I'm not going to stay in some hotel in laurel or wherever for two weeks while all my shit gets stolen or the roof needs covering while some cops from up north refuse to let you back in the area. Fuck that.

Yup.  I was stationed at Keesler from 2011 to 2013.  Some of the civilians who were retired military in my unit were senior NCOs when the storm went through.  Biloxi, Gulfport, and all those other little towns were leveled but no one gave a crap about the locals except other locals.  

Hell, there were still tons of empty lots and bare foundations when I was stationed there.

There was a video somewhere on the interwebs of what I believe was a levy breaking and the resulting flood of a neighborhood.
Not the lower 9th, it was a little subdivision of nice, newer two story tract houses.

Started with a before shot of the neighborhood, then the water/wind started coming. Homeowner was shooting video from his house.

Then all hell broke loose and the water level shot up to the top of the 1st floor of the houses, then started encroaching on the 2nd.

It went from "wow, it is rainy and windy" to "crap, my truck is toast and my house is flooding", better get upstairs and ended at "I think we are going to die".

AFAIK they survived but the video is even more frightening then this one.

Did a little bit of work with some of the refugees in the days and weeks after.  I think it's the closest thing I've ever personally seen to shell shock.  People clutching what little they now own in torn up dirty bags, who would just sit and stare at nothing.  Like they couldn't believe or comprehend what had happened to them, their homes, their loved ones.  

It was the sort of thing that has quite an effect on you.

It's FEMA that is ridiculous. Now any new structures have to be so many feet off the ground which runs the costs way up according to their rules.

no. IIRC the us gov subsidizes hurricane / flood  insurance and its actually pretty cheap. its pretty much the ONLY way most of the people who live in the coasts, can afford to have insurance. if it didnt exhist... most of those houses would have never been built in the first place, and they could not have been  financed, as the owners could never afford insurance.

We tried foot protection at the World Trade Center after 911.  Thousands of dog boots were donated but the dogs lost all tactile sensation and had a hard time moving.  We ended up wrapping their feet in coban elastic bandages and leaving only the toes exposed.  They had wrist and pad protection and were still able to feel where they were walking.

so, you get reasonable insurance...when your living in a possible disaster area, that has been a disaster area historically who knows how many times, with a very high likely hood it could be another disaster area, at anytime....... .. but to get it, you have to build to a code?   id say thats a reasonable building plan, when your chances of getting 10' of water at your location are pretty high.

the only reason you can get insurance on a house in that area, is due to the gov subsidizing it.... otherwise you would be paying $3000.00 a month , for home owners insurance.

http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/banking/starting-april-1-homeowners-to-see-subsidized-flood-insurance-phased-out/2223297



"My insurance is more than my mortgage," Loft-Powers said in a phone interview from her year-round home in Deerfield Beach, near Fort Lauderdale. "I live by the beach in an old neighborhood. I pay (too much) insurance for a … house that's not great."

On Wednesday — April Fool's Day — a congressional act that revised federal insurance premiums goes into effect, and coastal homeowners such as Loft-Powers say the joke will be on them. The government is slowly phasing out subsidized flood insurance for more than a million Americans with houses in flood zones who, in some cases, pay half the true commercial rate.  

Some owners say they are angry because their houses near lakes, rivers, bays and oceans were much more affordable with cheap rates that will now increase by as much as 25 percent each year until the premiums equal the full risk of settling down on property mapped as a flood zone.

i never said it was cheap to build. florida and the coasts have some of the strictest building codes in the country,  BECAUSE the chances of your house / business on the coast getting destroyed / hit by a hurricane is EXTREMELY high.... i was born in homestead florida, and my entire family is from florida, i am no stranger to hurricanes, and storm damage.. if it was not for the gov offering you cheaper / subsidized  insurance ( compared to what a private party would have you pay, without the gov involvement), you would not be living there anyway.....

you might be able to afford to live in a camper / RV, but not in a house, because no one would finance it, as you could never afford the insurance payments.  it looks like the gov is starting to finally increase their insurance rates, but IIRC they held it REALLY low for a long time. katrina almost bankrupted the entire insurance industry... so rates are going up.

it sucks to have to pay high insurance and build according to expensive building codes, but its because of your location, and the very high chance you will be filing insurance claims in the future, stricter building codes are there to reduce damage, and save lives, and reduce costs to insurance, as your house probably received less damage due to the better construction.

Yep.

Town I spent some time in as a youth had a big tornado tear through back in the 50s that wiped out a lot and killed quite a few.  As soon as the storm broke, all you could see for miles was the headlights of people who lived out in the country/surrounding little towns heading in to see how they could help.  This was before the days of big news, so people just understood that something bad had happened and people over there might need some help.  My granddad spent days running tires back and forth from town to the nearest intact tire shop to get vehicles moving again.  

Same thing happens if someone is sick or injured during harvest...everyone else will come over and help harvest his crops for him....no questions asked, no compensation demanded.  

That's what happens when you have a community of doers who are used to providing for themselves and their families.

Folks used to being on the dole can't seem to grasp the concept that a local community with a sense of self worth and pride is always going to be 100 times more effective than a federal government effort.  

It's damn near criminal how the rest of the gulf coast was ignored because "New Orleans".

you really cant imagine the destruction. you see a house hit by a tornado, and you can see the destruction.... but this is totally different. its like every house within 1/2 mile x 30 miles was totally destroved to the ground, then the next mile everything was flooded 10' deep... even normal looking houses were totalled, due to water damage.   i was in a neighborhood in hattiesburg, and EVERYTHING from the railroad tracks to the ocean ( approx 1/2 mile or so) was totally destroyed. it looked like someone had run over the houses with a giant lawn mower.   as far as you could see in every direction.  the interstate had huge assed boats laying in the middle of it.
