I was able to go down to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi the other week as I visited our Partnering Parish, St. John's Episcopal Church, while there is a lot of rebuilding being done, I was taken by the damage and devastation still there, a year and a half later. Above is looking east on Beach Blvd. and shows how bad things still are.
This is where St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Biloxi, Mississippi used to stand. Now it is just over grown grass. As I was driving down Beach Blvd. along the coast, the Episcopal Church flag jumped out at me on this empty lot. They are now meeting at a new site further inland.
There are two foundations of homes here, one has been cleared off and a trailer set on it in Ocean Springs, MS as a temporary measure. This is just across the road from the Gulf Coast.
