Chron.com | Gulf Coast still recovering (w/photo gallery): "Not long after Hurricane Katrina, the Biloxi Sun Herald issued an emotional appeal to a nation seemingly preoccupied with New Orleans. Katrina — and later Rita — left hundreds of other communities in ruins, communities that now feel their plight has been forgotten. They, too, lost homes, friends and families.
Do not forsake us, the newspaper pleaded. Come down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, because only when you have 'driven mile after numbing mile and viewed the complete nothingness where cities and homes and businesses once stood, only then will you begin to understand what has happened here.'"
