Where are all the folks?
Now, 18 months later, families are still living in FEMA trailers, parked in front of houses that they cannot yet live in. Monies allocated haven't been distributed, unsafe buildings still standing, and more.
What can be done?
The government could step up and correct this injustice. Individuals can organize, fund or participate in much needed help rebuilding the Gulf Coast. You can make a difference by joining us when Paterson Habitat returns for a second building trip.
Businesses that are not going to be back in business for a while.
Lot has been cleared and the slab is all that remains. We wonder if the homeowner will build a home here or ultimately put the lot up for sale as so many of the others have done. But, who is buying?
Examples of two homes, side-by-side on Beach Road, standing watch, overlooking the gulf. Built in 1840 and 1820 (l-r) and still awaiting restoration. Not liveable.
At our sunset visit, the gulf looks very placid. No thoughts of the 30+ foot tidal surge that took out people and houses and wrecked havoc in Bay St. Louis and Waveland, MS.
