When Hurricane Katrina struck on August 29, 2005, Mississippi’s Gulf Coast was brutally transformed. A towering 27 ft storm surge swept miles inland—decimating structures, homes, and ways of life across the gulf coast and for dozens of miles inland. Economically, the storm devastated livelihoods. The Gulfport–Biloxi metro area’s unemployment soared to 24.3% and over 39.9 million cubic yards of debris were removed in the cleanup. The human cost was staggering. Mississippi lost at least 231 lives.
