Dave:

A couple of telling news extracts, possibly for IP...........

Biloxi Sun-Herald, Wednesday Aug 31st:

....reporters listening to horrific stories of death and survival at
the Biloxi Junior High School shelter looked north across Irish Hill
Road and saw Air Force personnel playing basketball and performing
calisthenics. ....  When asked why these young men were not being used
to help in the recovery effort, our reporters were told that it would
be pointless to send military personnel down to the beach to pick up
debris.

Biloxi Sun-Herald, Saturday Sept 3rd:

A suspected dysentery outbreak resulted in the evacuation of an
American Red Cross Shelter on Irish Hill Road across the street from
Keesler Air Force Base.  The shelter [...] has lacked functioning
plumbing for five days. Hundreds of people stayed there after the
storm. Eight buses arrived at Michele Seventh Grade School around 1
p.m. to begin taking the people to Georgia.
