View Behind the Hard Rock of Biloxi

I am standing at the garage of Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi. I just want keep a file of the 90 degrees view that surrounds Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The tall building at the right is a building/apartment owned by a Catholic Church. It was abandoned after Hurricane Katrina because it is badly damage. The next building is a newly opened Mc Donald's, horizontal street is the US Highway 90. During the said hurricane, the water level on that highway is 12 feet. Basically, all those are flooded.

I am taking pictures, moving to the right. There is a park down below.

Moving to the right still. The picture below is the park. Behind that big oak trees is the Memorial Park, click the photo HERE. The road would lead to the Biloxi Harbor.

Four years ago, when hurricane Katrina hit this place, all you can see down here is water as deep as 35 ft high. That building is a remnant which up to now, it stood there in shattered.

Moving to the right: the beach view of the Gulf. The small island that you see at the far end existed after the hurricane.

This is the Biloxi harbor and its parking lot. See the pictures that I posted in SHRIMP SEASON IN BILOXI to see where I took this picture.

These boats are privately owned. Some of these are for the shrimping business. Most of them were owned by Vietnamese fishermen. You can visit this place to buy fresh fish, crawfish and shrimp. Make sure you come in the morning because they are easily sold out fast.

Since the fourth of July is coming, tourists are here for holiday off. They love boating too. More ships in there. The picture below is the whole building that was damage by Katrina.
