The start of Katrina
These pictures were made
by a man in
Magee,
MS
where the eye of the storm passed through.
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 it
slammed into the beach front communities of Bay
Saint Louis and Waveland Mississippi to
completely destroy 99% of every structure along
the beach for 9 miles and over 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. |
