Unbelievable isn't it.

I lived there during Camille (and several other hurricanes). After
Camille, I thought I had seen the worst I would ever see in terms of
destruction. The shocking thing is the degree of destruction by
comparison. This wasn't ten percent worse than Camille, but a factor
of three times. In areas that had 30% of the homes a total loss from
camille, Katrina got 95%.

Where did you end up staying?

We drove down in a big RV (about the size of a Greyhound bus) and pulled a
20' enclosed trailer full of stuff to be delivered. We parked in one of
those travel trailer instant villages (in Long Beach) I mentioned in the OP.
The worst part of the whole trip was coming home - I drove almost non-stop
and was pretty beat. Plus, we left a place that was close to 70 deg Fahr and
got home to 2 degrees Fahr.
