Okay, thought I'd jump in. I live in south Mississippi, and anybody who managed to see news coverage of anything other than New Orleans knows we got a TON of damage. I went down to the coast over the weekend, and there is NOTHING there. Katrina was last August, and our coast is still a flat wasteland of rubble. A couple of the major hotels that only got a little water damage(and by little I mean flooded up to the seventh floor)have opened back up, but that's it. There's no houses, restaurants, shops, nothing. It's nothing but flat sand and rubble for miles. Funnily enough New Orleans, who recieved maximum news coverage and minimal damage, is doing just fine. I went down about a month ago and you can't even tell that anything happened. When we got electricity back after the storm we started watching the news to see how the rest of the state was doing, but Mississippi was hardly even mentioned amid all the New Orleans telethons and fundraisers, and all they got was a little flooding.
