9 Stories on Mississippi Gulf Coast
Mississippi is relieved at the minimal damage but waters were unexpectedly high in towns recovering from Katrina
Almost every day Erick Ventura wakes up, he thinks about leaving.
I am a journalist. Tough, unemotional, detached. Until Katrina. It was my worst childhood nightmare come true.
Growing up on the Gulf Coast in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, I always knew that a hurricane could devastate our town.
Hundreds of thousands of businesses and individuals in the region hit by Hurricane Katrina are on the brink of a financial disaster as money to pay workers dries up, banks get tougher on borrowers who were allowed to skip payments immediately after the storm and the flow of government assistance is slowed by bureaucratic snafus, according to a published report.
Hurricane Katrina will cost the nation 400,000 jobs by the end of the year, according to the Congressional Budget Office. To put that in perspective, employment in New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast totaled about 775,000 at the end of 2004.

Rock 'n' roll pioneer Fats Domino was among the thousands of New Orleans residents plucked from rising floodwaters, his daughter said Thursday.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hurricane Katrina could hasten Delta Air Lines Inc.'s already likely bankruptcy and add to problems facing the rest of the hard-pressed U.S. airline industry, Standard & Poor's said Wednesday.
