I stayed at First Presbyterian Church, in Bay Saint Louis. This is a picture of the church. The high steep roof suffered a little damage, mostly missing shingles. The structure, just two buildings back from Beach Drive, had only two inches of water covering the floor, and, as you can see, wasn't crushed by water or trees or wind. Eyewitnesses said the water parted around the building. You may draw your own conclusions.
In the second picture, you can see the tool shed and a couple of tents erected to house the work teams.
Our team was fortunate enough to be able to bunk inside. In fact, in the second picture, you can see our bunks being made. Two by fours and a sheet of OSB, we got four two bed bunks in the room. Our team was six, three men and three women. But the team following us was eighteen. They were going to need the bunks. Probably the tents too.
