These spray painted symbols are a frequent site on the homes in Biloxi. I took a picture - hoping I would be able to find someone to tell me what it means. With a little help from google this is what I learned...
Every house in the flood area was marked with a spray-painted "X" after it was searched. There are four sections and each has a meaning.
Top Quadrant - date the home was searched
Left Quadrant - initials of the search squad
Botton Quadrant - body count
Right Quadrant - notations for hazards such as gas and water leaks, downed wires, infestations or dead animals
Taken from "For tales of life and death, the writing's on the wall"
