I had a professional friend whose home was hit by Katrina in Gulfport Miss.

It also completely totaled his business and records.

Finally, he had a vacation home in New Orleans, also destroyed.

He struggled for two years to try to put his life together, and then committed suicide, leaving a wife and family.

Great guy. Big loss for his family.

The large construction company I was with did hundreds of millions in work on the Gulf Coast after Katrina. I was down there to bid on work in that area. I was in Gulf Port a few weeks after Katrina but way up on the interstate. The motel we met in had drywall that had been wet to 32” above floor level. This was up on Interstate 10.
