Waveland: Ground Zero for Hurricane Katrina
Waveland holds the distinction of being the point where Hurricane Katrina's eyewall made landfall on August 29, 2005. The storm surge, reaching over 30 feet in some areas, destroyed nearly every structure in the city. Waveland was, for a time, almost completely erased.
Rebuilding has been a slow, generational process. New construction has been built to higher elevation standards. The city's population has not returned to pre-storm levels.
Before Katrina, Waveland was a quiet beach town in Hancock County with a population of around 6,600. The proximity to Bay Saint Louis and the casino corridor provided economic connections. The city maintains its municipal government and continues to rebuild its commercial base.
Before the storm, Waveland was home to the old Buccaneer Bay water park and a beachfront with modest homes and small businesses. A memorial park now marks the devastation and honors those who lost their lives. The city has adopted strict building codes requiring new structures to meet elevated foundation standards.
