These pictures were taken 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 land fall.
These pictures 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.

No, you're right... they are beautiful. To look at, from a distance.

I agree with Liss ... it feels strange to think that something that took many lives and destroyed so much is beautiful ... but it is.

When I see such pictures, I only realize that us humans, are just NOTHING. Mother Nature is the strongest here & is indeed not to be messed with. Lets not forget that it's mostly our doing that a lot of nature distasters are occuring. Mother Nature is so powerful and beautiful at the same time... she gives me chills.
