Hurricane Katrina devastated the historic town destroying or severely damaging nearly all of its 4,500 homes, but its rebuilding has been a success story. Bay St. Louis is now one of the fastest growing cities in Mississippi. New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region are preparing to mark the 20 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which occurred on August 29, 2005. Katrina resulted in nearly 1,400 deaths, according to revised statistics from the National Hurricane Center, and remains the costliest storm in U.S. history at around $200 billion in today’s dollars.
