Why did New Orleans get more coverage?
Most people say New Orleans was harder hit, but when people see the Mississippi Gulf Coast, they don't realize that there were homes there once.
Many people driving along Second Street in Pass Christian would not realize that my school once stood there, because a lot of the debris has been cleaned out.

That's my school, before the debris trucks came in.

And that's where I attend now.
New Orleans was flooded, but Mississippi got the storm surge, which destroyed anything 5 blocks from the beach. This storm surge also caused the rivers to rise, flooding all homes along them. Creeks and ditched overflowed, causing homes by them to have water in them, too.
New Orleans may look like a ghost town (no pun intended), but the Mississippi coast looks like there was nothing there before August 29, 2005.
Now... go!
