Review:
Hurricane Katrina was an incredibly significant event in the lives of Biloxi citizens. As one of the largest cities along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Biloxi was hit especially hard by this vicious natural disaster. The memorial on Biloxi’s main street is a fitting tribute to this massive tragedy and the impact it had on the community. The Hurricane Katrina Memorial consists of several parts—one plaque describes the devastation the storm brought on the area, while another depicts a map that further illustrates the hurricane’s impact. A second piece of the memorial, which rises a symbolic 12 feet, the height the water level reached during the storm, lists the names of those who died or went missing during Katrina. A case also contains items found by residents from the nearby buildings.
