REMEMBERING HURRICANE KATRINA
- 10 Years Later
Joey Gaffin, Coast Observer owner Cheli's
boyfriend rode out hurricane katrina in their
condo at the Villa's of Legacy behind the
Legacy condo towers on the beach in Gulfport.  
He had no idea the destruction that was
happening around him!!  Throughout the
morning he would spend much of the time
riding out the hurricane in our shower with a
pool raft as he thought any time the walls could
come down and he would need a floating
device.  He would come out at times to check
the condo, move furniture around put pans and
trash cans to catch water coming in through
the roof and then return to the shower to be
safe.  Many of these pictures were taken hours
after hurricane katrina left our beautiful
Mississippi Gulf Coast torn and broken.  
Others were taken during the weeks that
followed as we tried to make some sense of the
disaster that would change our coast forever!!
