Katrina

I was told these pictures were made by a man in Magee, MS
 where the eye of the storm passed thru - what an experience.

Magee is 150 miles North of Waveland, Mississippi where
 the Hurricane made land fall.

Worth passing on!!!

The dance with Katrina, part of her beauty as she
 left destruction on her exit. They are remarkably dramatic.

The following picture was taken from the third story balcony
of Saint Stanislaus College located next door to Our Lady of
the Gulf church in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi on the morning
of August 29th, 2005. This is believed to be the initial tidal
wave from Hurricane Katrina. The tidal wave was
approximately 35 to 40 feet high. When is slammed into the
 beach front communities of Bay Saint Louis and Waveland
 Mississippi to completely destroyed 99% of every structure
 along the beach for 9 miles and over ¼ of a mile inland.
The destruction only started there. The flooding that continued
inland destroyed the contents of all but 35 homes in these two
communities of approximately 14,000 people.
This picture was taken from the I-10 overpass after the storm passed facing south toward Waveland. This location is approximately 5 miles from the beach.
