photograph's of hurricane katrina

These pictures were made by an excellent photographer 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 in Mississippi .

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

Lastly.....
The next 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 wave (tidal?) of Hurricane Katrina. The wave was approximately 35 to 40 feet high. When it slammed into the beachfront communities of Bay Saint Louis and Waveland, it completely destroyed 99% of every structure along the beach for 9 miles and more than a mile inland. But the destruction only started there. The flooding which continued inland destroyed all but 35 homes in these two communities of approximately 14,000 people.
It almost looks like a mountain. The force behind it would have the same impact of one.

If it wasn't for the devestating effects she has on peoples lives, one would have to admire Mother Nature for putting on such a show.... :eek:

Sorry Dull, the cloud pics aren't Katrina:
snopes.com: Storm Clouds (http://snopes.com/photos/natural/storm.asp)

Mike Hollingshead does take great photos though. Follow the link to see his other stuff.

And even the last pic's caption isn't accurate. It's an overflowing levee, photographed from a power station:

Great photos, but I have had them in 6 or 7 different emails touting being everything from Katrina to NSW Australia. Even 2 emails before Katrina. Bit hard to believe Australia when you enlarge one and see LH drive vehicles.
Great pics though and I would love to be able to take pics like that.
:D:D
