Remembering Hurricane Katrina Four Years Ago

These are the people who doesn't want to leave during the Hurricane Katrina. Four years ago, many lost their lives thinking like this. They are lucky to be alive. As you can see later on, deciding to stay is not a wise decision. I always show you the beach pictures in my blogs right? This area is far from it and as you can see, the downpour of rain and water from the Gulf Coast made the streets flooded. View the video, it happened four years ago on this day in Biloxi, Mississippi. I got this from BenMarbleMD channel.

Remembering Katrina in New Orleans

When we visited New Orleans,Louisiana last March, I remembered the hurricane Katrina. The world watched this incident on TV in great horror and yet, help did not come too soon. I had the chance to travel by land , from Florida to Louisiana and the rebuilding of these places continues at present. It will take more years to rebuild the city like it was before. I embed this video from the channel of DBUTTRY.

The View of the Park

We went to Hard Rock Biloxi yesterday and had our lunch at the casual dining. My husband and I loves the Satisfaction Buffet at Hard Rock. We then unwind and play the slot machines. Of course, we end up losing LOL. Few weeks ago, I saw on the highway that workers cut this old Oak Tree and they added this tree to the Katrina Tree Sculptures.

Of course, I need a souvenir, just ignore me as I cover the artwork..LOL.
I was grinning because my hubby did not bring his glasses, he can't see where to focus.

I took over the camera....see the difference? I just love this caption. During the Hurricane Katrina, the water level is 12 foot high in this location.

See the body of the Oak Tree? Huge and the carving of the crab and other sea creatures are not done.
See the view at the far end? Click {Here} to see what's in there. The sea water is 12 ft high and it was an angry surge destroying the houses and buildings here in Biloxi. That was four years ago.

The Tree Sculpture in Biloxi

When Hurricane Katrina hit Biloxi, Mississippi four years ago, there were so many oak trees cut down by gigantic waves from the gulf coast. These trees were more than hundred years old and to preserved them, the city of Biloxi decided to make an art out of these trees. Check this: {HERE}

This tree is a new addition to the many art sculptures in Biloxi. You can see these arts along the US Highway 90.

This sculpture is not yet done. You can see this particular tree at the front of Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi-Mississippi.

In this area, you can also find the Hurricane Katrina Monument. You can click the link if you want to see the monument at the far end. See the person standing? That's where the link is.

This is so beautiful already even if its not finish.

Hoping you had fun viewing the pictures. Visit Biloxi, Mississippi, it is a nice place to unwind. Hotels and Casinos are everywhere.

Katrina Sculptures In Biloxi - 2

These are sculptures from Hurricane Katrina damage trees along Beach Blvd in Biloxi, Mississippi. There are 20 of these artwork and these two are just few of them.

Hurricane Katrina Remnants

We drove to the beach of Ocean Springs, Mississippi today and as usual, I took photographs. These pictures was taken few days ago to show the heartbreaking remnants of Hurricane Katrina. It is very obvious that this home is huge yet, only a portion of the house once stood is visible.
This is located few feet away from the beach and most of the neighbor houses were washed out. The only visible part of the house that you will see here are the cemented flooring and some main posts.
This is like an entrance of the house or a living room perhaps, the only solid portion that survived the storm. Maybe, the owner just abandoned this house. The other neighbors, rebuild their homes though.
This is all there is.
