Katrina: Eight Hours That Changed the Mississippi Coast Forever

by Kat Bergeron Ricky Mathews

The first Katrina book, Eight Hours That Changed The Mississippi Gulf Coast Forever, is still available. This four-color, hardbound book is a "must-have" book for every Katrina survivor, and for those who want to understand this terrible natural disaster. We begin with a reminder of what the beautiful Coast looked like before the storm. Then we take you through Katrina's arrival and those first shocking days after the storm. We end with the story that's actually just the rebuilding, recovery and renewal. The story is told in words and exclusive photos from Sun Herald reporters and photojournalists who covered the storm.

I just got back from spending a few days on the Gulf coast, in Gulfport. It is a spectacular place and unimaginable to me the amount of water and destruction. The damage the area endured was horrifying. And almost 21 years later, such beauty.
