BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Twenty-five years ago, South Mississippi took a direct hit from Hurricane Georges. It started as a tropical wave off the coast of Africa and quickly grew into a monster Category four hurricane over the Atlantic before weakening and impacting the Caribbean Islands. George made landfall six times before making a seventh and final landfall in Biloxi on Sep 28, 1998 as a category two storm.
