This is the scene from near Exit 69 off I-10 where I had been staying near Pascagoula, an area I had described as a "fast-food hell," now totally inundated with floodwaters.
These poor folks lost their home near the Pascagoula shore on Mississippi Sound. This is one of the most poignant pictures I've seen of the devastation to human and property values.
What's left of the houses above and below are near the trail along the shore that I used to occasionally run along.
It was a bad day today in Pascagoula. I'm safe and dry and, surprisingly, with electricity back home in Atlanta, but I have a profound sense of sorrow for all those who weren't as lucky as me and have another place to go home to. And the situation in New Orleans is even worse, from everything I've read.

Yow. Great, if sad, pics as usual, Shokai. Sometimes the picture really does say "don't stand there, do something!"
