Thanks to ABC 33/40 Skywatcher Michelle Miklik for these images… she writes:
“Stayed on Keesler AFB home of the Hurricane Hunters ( just wish I could
have had the opportunity to see one of the planes inside etc, but oh
well).
There were some signs of rebuilding, but a lot of the homes that use to
be there and considered beach front property are just empty lots, some
for sale, others not. You could see where the driveways once lead up to
a house, and even some foundations are the only things there. There are
some new condos and some beach homes being built, but not a lot. A few
new Waffle Houses, Mc D’s, gas station, souviner stores, casinos etc.
Now properties that were 3 or 4 blocks from the beach actually are the
beach front properties now with a view. A lot of the businesses that use
to be on the beach are not showing any signs of coming back.
Let’s just hope the 2009 Hurricane season will be a minor one again for
there sakes. ”
