This is in breaking news at The Guardian (UK).

I'm still going daily to feed the abandoned dogs down at the FEMA truck park. Abandoned dogs everywhere in Mobile, still.

Unfortunally, I see at least one splattered over the road way every day.

There are still 51,000 new people in my county of 472,000. Real estate prices have gone through the roof.

"...New Orleans has gotten a disproportionate share of the news coverage and the nation's attention in the aftermath of the storm..."

quite an understatement!

Having been born in Gulfport and lived in Biloxi I do get a little tired of New Orleans getting all the news coverage. My sister and I are planning on heading down to Biloxi for vacation this summer so we can put our money toward helping the rebuilding effort. Biloxi is and always will be in my heart.

Same as Waco getting all the bad publicity over Koresh when it was really near Mt. Carmel. Waco was merely only town around large enough to house and feed the moronic media. Now the incident is known as "Waco".

Damn! I like dogs too.

Note that stories like this completely ignore the role of the media and the Left in overhyping New Orleans for purely political reasons.

there is no doubt the media has made NOLA seem the primary disaster. In part this is simply a function of what can be easily shown: a flooded metropolis, versus a shot of the devastated first few blocks of any part of MS gc. There is no way to convery the scale of the damage on the coast, besides doing a 30 minute pan from a helo going full speed.

Secondly, of course, the media loves human tragedy and the political potential, but more than anything the average couch potato can grasp that new orleans flooded.

If your Church or a local high school or college is discussing sending kids to do service work, steer them to the MS Gulf Coast instead of New Orleans. ;o)
There is a LOT of work that needs to be done across the whole of South Mississippi.
