Joe,

You bring back some memories for me. I was an instructor stationed at Keesler (Biloxi) AFB during Camille. I 'met' one of the site moderators, 'danielw' who was one of the many 'street urchins' left semi-homeless in Biloxi and as an NCO instructor after the storm, our focus went from teaching electronics to disaster recovery. I don't actually recall meeting Danny, but he seems to remember me....I am 6'7" so I guess to a little kid I would stand out I think it was more of a we were in similar situatations rather than actual meetings but you get the idea. We were without power for over 3 months ON THE BASE in the housing areas so I feel for Katrina victims some who are without homes and what they must be going through, some still I would expect. While Camille was probably stronger, it was a tad smaller and slightly (from New Orleans perspective at least, better positioned than Katrina which was bigger and much worse in terms of positioning for damage.

Anyway, I enjoyed your article.
