I have a few pictures of the beachline in Gulfport / Biloxi from late January when I was lucky enough to have visited the area for what appears to be the last time for some time. Gulfport & Biloxi were actually my favorite beach destinations. Hotels were affordable and the beaches were very easily axcessable - much of the affordable hotels just across the street. The beaches were "vacant" except for the casinos so there was plenty of beach for everyone. The homes were absolutely beautiful. Gulfport and Biloxi were true Southern towns and I have been greatly affected by the loss, but I don't even begin to believe I can understand the loss of the individuals blessed enough to live there.
As for the comments about the government not allowing rebuilding to occur due to their location. As others have stated, if we allowed the government to forbid building due to potential weather losses, we would have no living up and down the East Coast as well as the Gulf Coast. Building would be forbidden throughout California due to earthquake potential and then of course, the fires. Building would be forbidden in the Northwest due to the excessive rains and potential landslides. Building would be forbidden in the North and Northeast due to loss of life and business affected by blizzards. And let's not forget the Midwest and the annual threats of tornadoes. Risk enters our life from the day we're born and all we can do is to make the best choices possible for our individual lives.
In the meantime, my prayers are with the people of Gulfport, Biloxi and the rest of the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast as well as the many displaced in New Orleans.
Mobile, Biloxi...,
in New Orleans and Southern Louisiana
