Thanksgiving in Bay St. Louis
WBIR.COM - COMMENTARY: A very special Thanksgiving in Bay St. Louis: "All doubt disappears once we turn off the Interstate about 30 miles north of the coast. We're now on a two-lane road that's full of logging trucks in both directions. The damage is already worse than I expected. There are no street signs or mailboxes - just sheets of plywood with a house number and sometimes a name scrawled in spray paint.
Three months after Katrina, there are still piles of debris everywhere, and the blue plastic tarps are only beginning to give way to new metal roofing. At one home, an entire sheet of vinyl ripped from a billboard has been pressed into service as roofing. I can't make out what it used to advertise."
