TXREDSKINS44 Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 This picture was taken at an intersection down by the beach. If you look to the right there used to be a Ruby Tuesdays, and to the left there used to be a Shell gas station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartskins Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Wow. Pretty scary. Glad you and your wife are alright. So I guess you've moved since you lived in Dallas (as it indicates in your profile)? Or are you living in Dallas now while you figure out what's next?

Yes KingLeo it's hard to image that all it took was one day for a whole economy to be wiped out. You take a lot for granted until something like this happens. I mean people who had jobs one day now may not have one at all. I’m at a loss of words to describe the devastation that took place in South Mississippi.

riggins44 Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Had a customer of mine in earlier, he was at Naval Station Pascagoula riding the storm out on a ship tied to the pier. The parking lot where his truck and motorcycle was was under 12 ft of water. He said the winds hit 150 mph and they had like 22 lines out. His stories are unreal. When he found where his truck ended up, the waterline was halfway the inside rearview mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huly Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 How are they recovering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXREDSKINS44 Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 How are they recovering? The recover process has gone really well, my house got phone, cable, and electricty 2 weeks after the storm. Super markets are still really busy it's hard to buy food and when you do it takes about an hour to check out. Gas is still kinda hard to come by but it's get better.
