Ok, here we go... Starting out with my home and the beginnings of the storm...
The last pic of me was right after I pulled a handicapped man out of his house, at the end of my block.... I swam down there to get him... I have literally hundreds of cuts all over me....
More to come...
Oh and BTW, I live in a no flood zone... It hasnt flooded here in over 100 years.... Go figure...

The tree landed on my son Ryans' bed, 20 minutes after I woke him up to witness the storm.... It hit so hard it popped the roof off on the other side of the house, as is evident by the soffit and trim ripping down like it did...
There is major structural damage to the rafters along the whole backside of the house.... Thank God for homeowners insurance.....

This is the Ocean Springs bridge, looking over to Biloxi.... This area is called Front Beach, and was demolished...

have to ask though on your first shots. The water came down to your house as it appears from the scan your home sits lower than the no outlet sign ? probably just the angle. so the house you rescued your nighbor from was the one boarded up across the street in the scans ?
and your house is shaped in a U shape of sorts, with your sons room on the one corner that got hit ?

I know this is stating the obvious but, man, you look like **** in that picture. Good thing you woke your son up! That is one big ass tree! I hope your insurance company sorts that out as soon as possible.
A bit lucky that you actually still have a house though. Great pictures of the terrible event.

I saw aerial shots of the Ocean Springs Bridge on the news a few days ago, but seeing the damage close up like that puts a whole new perspective on it. Jesus!
To those in that club.
