      From Point Cadet to Waveland the Mississippi coast resembles a war zone. This storm took away precious lives, homes of families and friends, churches, favorite restaurants, businesses and many historic landmarks. Many who survived are still in a state of shock.  Massive structures of concrete and steel were no match for Katrina. The US 90 bridge between Gulfport and Ocean Springs looks like a giant accordion. Many of the large casinos that were moored on the water now rest broken on dry land. The storm has taken away jobs and devastated the local economies.
