The sky before Katrina Struck The Sky Before Katrina Struck... | Whoever took
these pictures did an awesome job. And whoever
said Katrina was 'awesome and
terrifying' is telling the truth. Wow, take a
look at this ....
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 landfall. The dance with
Katrina, part of her beauty as she left destruction on
her exit. 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 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.
