Katrina flaw leaves Alabama coast scarred and wrecked
Floodwaters receded to reveal widespread ruin along the Alabama coast from Katrina. Cement slabs mark former homes, a 100 foot shrimp boat lay on its side, boats and vessels strewn through flooded yards, and Bayou La Batre residents search for keepsakes amid debris while power dwindles and lives are rebuilt. Two Alabama deaths linked to the storm were reported as Mississippi's toll rose. The public safety response remains critical with outages and damaged infrastructure across Mobile and northwest Alabama.
