Waveland

Hurricane Katrina’s devastation has spread over 90,000 miles, and Waveland, Mississippi caught the eye of its brutal force. The Gulf of Mexico poured into this beautiful coastal community and drowned Waveland in 30 feet of water. Sixty five percent of its homes were flattened, shredded into mountains of matchstick like debris. As I drove through what had been their town, I could discern the steps going into some of these homes, but not much else.
