About this project
In the coming months, MSNBC.com will focus its coverage of the Hurricane Katrina recovery on two cities on the hard-hit Mississippi coast.
Though Bay St. Louis and Waveland are far from the media spotlight on New Orleans, the intertwined fates of the people, businesses and institutions in these towns tell the story of an entire region's struggle to recover from the most destructive storm in U.S. history.
This post is specifically to Joe in East Tennessee, and generally to everyone who has been so supportive of us and may be wondering whether we're nuts:
Joe, my heart breaks for you and your wife. Your ordeal is just horrible and I don't blame you one bit for staying on the mountain.
When I was watching the Grammy's U2 played their song "One." They also played that song at the Hurricane Relief Concert. It is one of my favorite songs.
While they played I was listening to the words more carefully. It is really a song about breaking up (at least that is what Bono says) but it could be a song about anything.
