Bay St Louis, The Other Side

Our driving tour of Bay St. Louis this past weekend took us not only through the neighborhoods of former 'grande dame' houses, but also through the neighborhoods where regular people live. This family lost a home and they have made do with a still-standing shed, a ladder extended up to the treehouse, a pop-up tent and a motor home. Seeing this helps bring home what I have heard about the hurricane's destruction. It is hard to imagine living under these conditions.
