The Sky Before Katrina Struck

Hey All,

Absolute WOW! If I saw clouds like those (pics 2,3,5,7,8) headed toward me - I be goin somewhere else! The one with the funnels - what a shot! And as for that wave where's my surfboard? :d JK!

-Ed-
 
Good grief! The last shot of the tidal storm surge wave was simply terrifying!

Man... That is some scary looking clouds. Raises the hairs on my neck....

I dont know if I would jump in the car and drive as fast as possible, or just barricade in...

scary...


Thanks Peter for the heads up.



Bill
 
Either way it is educational.... I see clouds like that I know to head for the bunker!!
 
I have been in many a hurricane. I don't recall the clouds ever looking like those. The second and third pictures remind me of a cold front approaching that I once saw in Oklahoma. Here are some pictures I took as it approached.

And some poor a-hole in a Cessna 172 was probably sweating bullets and trying to arrive somewhere ahead of that blanket....

Warchild, that is not a picture of the "Katrina tidal wave" it's a picture of a levee being overtopped.

According to the link ....

<DT>[SIZE=+1]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.[/SIZE] </DT><DT>
