I lived on the Mississippi gulf coast For bout 10 years but moved back to New England just before a major hurricane. Looking at Google Earth, I was able to see the damage, or rather, places where building I knew well were missing. There was not much on national news about this area. For Mobile Bay there was even less news. One community, Bayou La Batrie, I know is or was about 5 feet above see level. I can't imagine anything or anyone there survived. It is a very poor community so the residents had few options.

I'm sure there will be many areas, small communities such as Rosharon, south of Houston that get drowned with ordinary heavy rains causing the Brazos River to flood and drown the surrounding region. Small communities and small business will have to be champion scramblers to get a share of recovery dollars.
