Mississippi isn't often talked about regarding Katrina, but we had kin folk down there and sent family to help. it was like nothing ever seen. it was bedlam personified.
I delivered a box truck full of supplies to what was left of the Waveland FD in the aftermath. Beat FEMA there by 2-3 days. That drive from the interstate to the fire department was.... something.

Surprised they let you in, they had national guard with full battle gear sending people back starting on I59 in Hattiesburg.
Think a big part of the issue had to do with a lack of gasoline for responders in S MS at the time.
The gasoline issue is another reason I wouldn’t stay. Unless you can run a generator on natural gas and they don’t shut the supply lines down due to damage you can’t get much repair work done.
No repairs, no AC, questionable water supply and lots of bugs… hard pass.
