These are pics taken during the hurricane (we stayed with Brandon's mom and stepdad out in Latimer....about 20 miles inland) and after the hurricane we drove to Chicago for a week. The damage is unbelievable - we weren't prepared for how bad everything was. I got various photo's online and I took a bunch of pics around Biloxi & D'Iberville. Also got these newest photos of the Palace and Casino Magic from Brynda Janashak. It's still worse when you see it all in person.

I live in Gautier (pronounced Go-Shay for those of you who aren't from around here.) I stayed through the storm and I know first hand the wrath of this hurricane. I had 25 family members to move away, having lost everything. I am the only one left from the family that stayed in Mississippi. I miss my family tremendously and have never known such loneliness. Please keep me in your prayers. - charmie, Tue, 21 Mar 2006 5:54PM
