Devastation on the Mississippi Coast
- "If the levees had held in New Orleans, the destruction wrought on the Mississippi Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina would have been the most astonishing storm story of a generation. Whole towns have been laid flat, thousands of houses washed away and, statewide, the storm has been blamed for the deaths of 211 people, a toll far higher than those from Hurricanes Andrew, Hugo and Ivan." - excerpt from the New York Times article, free registration required, at http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/12/national/nationalspecial/12gulf.html
