1,000 ft. over Dauphin Island.

How did Ft. Gaines handle Katrina?

Came through ok. The west end of the island really got hammered, though.
Lots of beach homes lost and a new pass cut through to Mississippi Sound.

Thanks. I visited New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast in February,
and have this to say:

If America as a whole is ever hit with a disaster as heavily as Katrina hit
the gulf coast states, I hope that we as a nation are able to endure and
rebuild with the tenacity, resiliance and determination that I saw from the
people in Gulfport, Biloxi, etc. Talk about a stiff upper lip; southerners
are some tough f'ing people!
