Pensacola has had it's fair share of damage from hurricanes. The worst damage occurred because of 2 hurricanes.

#1 Hurricane Erin. Came in and took out part of the sand dunes.
#2 Hurricane Opal. Took out the remaining dunes. There was no time to rebuild and there was no good clean sand to use. Opal devastated the beach. Life on the island hasn't been the same since.

I have a friend that lost their house twice. Having to rebuild. And just when they got finished rebuilding from Erin, Opal came in and destroyed it again.

Whether we admit it or not, Katrina and any other hurricane is no different. If you lost your home, then you encountered the same thing as another person from a different disaster. And disease in Katrina was caused mainly by the location, being in a swamp, and the people having unclean habits to begin with.

I am a damage investigator for ATT. Over the last 14 years, I have been on every block of every street in the city of New Orleans.I am still looking for a swamp.Still looking.
