This is the third part of my three part series of videos from the “Tracking the Hurricanes: 2005″ DVD of hurricane Katrina. This video picks up 47 days after Katrina along the battered coast of Mississippi. We make our way to Waveland where my colleague and I were going to ride out Katrina in the “safety” of the fire department (make sure you watch parts one and two to understand the sequence of events). We interview fire chief David Garcia as we drive through an almost completely flattened Waveland. The video does not begin to convey the enormity of the devastation there. I end the Katrina section with a music tribute that I composed and performed myself just for the DVD. I think you will find it moving. You can learn more about our work at www.hurricanetrack.com

Amazing video. Thank you for all your hard work on that. We could never really fathom of that type of storm until now. I saw a sign on google, it said “Katrina was big, but our God is BIGGER’!!!

Let me make this …
Let me make this clear…..All you people harping about Miss. not getting the press need to STFU. Mississippi got the money, while NOLA and the rest of Louisiana have yet to see the kind of money Miss got. It will take about 15 years for NOLA to return to normal but from the looks of it when I was down in waveland on July 2 on my way to a family reunion, the rebuilding process is already complete.

I coast is still for the most part wiped out.. nobody can rebuild due to high insurance cost and new building codes plus so many people didn’t get any moeny from their insurance company because they didn’t have flood coverage.. most buildings on Hwy 90 are gone.. all the old homes and businesses. several casinos didn’t rebuild.. the coast will never be the same.. u hardly know where u r on hwy 90 without the landmarks

Thanks! I think that us in MS have been forgotten. Even now on TV when Katrina is mentioned, the only city they speak of is NOLA.

im not from Mississippi im from Chicago but still from other videos and websites about Katrina it seems they are concertained about building up the big busnessed like casinos and hotals before acsully building whats more important the homes. Most busnessed are rebuilt but still theres many houses not rebuilt yet….

It was tough on many people. Priorities are sometimes hard to understand. I will miss the Camille- remember seeing it for years as I went across the Mississippi coast on 90 west. It is a changed region now with many vacant lots still overgrown with weeds, etc. hiding the scars of Katrina. Thanks for watching the video.

I am from Gulfport and came back to get my mother..she lived off of township road behind wet and wild.
I showed up a week after Katrina and they were still finding bodies and people still living in tents without much help.
all my childhood memories places, and people I knew are gone forever .
yet the casinos are quick to rebuild but they didn’t seem to care about rebuilding what made the Gulf coast unique. IE: SS Camille

That was a bad loss. Too bad someone did not have the vision to save it and restore it as a reminder of two historic hurricanes for the region and the power of the people’s will to survive and recover.

AMAZING video footage and considerate narrative. Yes, we cannot forget that MS, AL and parts of FL took it on the chin from Katrina. Thanks for your work and courage.

Still nearly 4 years after the fact, you mention Katrina, and all anyone mentions is NOLA. Sure they had it bad, but don’t forget us here in MS! Thanks for making this video, and remembering Mississippi.

The dumb peices of crap that owned it let it rot away to nothing. It’s too bad there isn’t a law or something against that.

The demolishion of the SS Camille still makes me see red.
This was a historic landmark and should have been treated with respect!
