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 b each 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. Can you imagine holding your camera steady enough to take these photos! These pictures were taken by a man in Magee, MS where the eye of the storm passed through - what an experience.
Most of these are not even pictures of hurricanes but are instead super-cell thunderstorms. Some of these pictures can be found at http://extremeinstability.com/2004.htm
