OverviewThis is a compelling account of the incredible impact Hurricane Katrina had on Mississippi's Gulf Coast. This book presents the fullest account yet written of the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Rooted in a wealth of oral histories, it tells the dramatic but underreported story of a people who confronted the unprecedented devastation of sixty five thousand homes when the hurricane swept a record thirty-foot storm surge across a seventy-five-mile stretch of unprotected Mississippi towns and cities. The heroes of this saga are the local people and local officials. In often moving accounts, the book addresses the Mississippi Gulf Coast's long struggle to remove an impossible volume of debris and get on with the rebuilding of homes, schools, jobs, and public infrastructure.
