Yes, parts of mobile flooded and there was a lot of damage from storm surge, wind, power outages, and downed trees. Many people lost their homes or place of residence, apartments flooded in the storm surge too. The Red Cross and Fema had shelter locations in Mobile for residents and displaced people from Mississippi and Louisiana. Additionally, many residents lost their roofs or part of their roofs during the storm and had water damage to their homes from Katrina, and also from Rita if they were unable to get repairs done before the end of September. Mold damage from flooding and roof loss was a problem that was made worse by the extended loss of power. As a side note many residents in Mobile had food stored in their freezers to last them for up to a year. In the extended power outages they lost all of their food.
