We visited several areas within Boluxi, Miss. These are from Pennington or Pendleton (iI can't remember). The water in this town was deep. I took a picture that shows the water line on the back of a backboard in their school gym. The school can no longer be used because it is now within the flood plian, because it flooded and is now deemed unsafe. Schools are required to be built outside flood limits because the are used for emergancy shelters. This one was under 9ft of water. They converted the gym into a food pantry. Military meals, water donated by Budwiser (which I heard tastes horrible), and anything else can had been donated is distributed here to the town. They have to ration toilet paper here to 2 rolls per family per week because they don't have enough for the whole town.
