This picture was taken from the third story balcony of St 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 destr oyed the contents of all but 35 homes in these two communities of approximately 14,000 people.
Isn't this creepy??? I can't imagine being the person that took this picture. I wonder what they were thinking? I haven't ever really seen anything regarding Katrina like this, it gave me chills.
I was going to copy and post the picture and me, Cammie, and Susan at Pat O'Brien's on Satruday; but I haven't gotten a copy yet. Cammie said she posted a better one on her blog...I looked at it, and I have the fattest head in the world! Thanks Cam!
