re: Mississippi and Hurricane Katrina: the forgotten Landmass

Katrina killed 235 people in Mississippi. About a dozen in my small town of Ocean Springs and 100's later the following year who just couldn't deal with stress of losing everything being fricked by snake Farm etc. We lost about 20% of our population initially.
I don't think Katina didn't kill a single person in New Orleans. The levee failure killed thousands. Whether that was COE fault or whatever, it was clearly a sub standard levee.
So we were damaged by a Catastrophic Cat 4 storm while New Orleans was damages by Catastrophic engineering failure.

I'm from there. Town really lucked out overall relatively speaking. That quick elevation change from the shoreline was a huge help.
Pretty wild time thinking back on it.

I can't argue this... If the levees don't fail, N.O. is spared a lot of death and destruction.........
