After the Flood

As flood waters begin to recede and dry up, many Gulfport residents are returning to their homes.

Oaklane Road resident Laquisha Brooks’ home was flooded yesterday. She was rescued by the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department. Today, her family is finally able to reunite and assess the damage caused by yesterday’s flood. Her cars were full of water and are still drying out today.

Today, inner tubes that were used as temporary boats can be found in the Oaklane Road neighborhood and the roads are covered with sand but the water has receded.
