About 200 yards (183 m) from the coast in Ocean Springs, Miss., this structure was damaged significantly by storm surge. The single-ply roof system fared well considering this structure is located where the hurricane's wind speeds were some of the highest.

Located only 3 miles to 4 miles (5 km to 6 km) from St. Louis Bay, this house experienced water surge damage. It also experienced some of the highest winds because of its proximity to the coast where Katrina made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane. Only a small portion of the newer asphalt shingles were blown off along the leading edge.

This structure in Kiln, Miss., was far enough north-about 5 miles (8 km) north of St. Louis Bay-to avoid storm surge. The metal panel roof fared well; however, the gable-end wall did not.
