Awesome images of Katrina

[JEEP]

Received these pictures from a forwarded email:

Whoever took these pictures did an awesome job.

And whoever said Katrina was 'awesome and
terrifying' was telling the truth.

Wow, take a look at this ....

These pictures were made by a man in Magee , MSwhere the eye
of the storm passed thru- what an experience.

Magee is 150 miles North of Waveland, Mississippi where the
Hurricane made landfall.

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 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.

Images of nature's fury or clash of the Titans - 6D STO vs 4D STS? Either way, the end result is powerfully scary and destructive!

Back during those times I had a little weather-related blog up and I posted a bunch of pics from Katrina over there as well - http://burningmarble.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html. It certainly is "awesome and terrifying"...

Hi Jeep, the images in your post aren't showing up. I suspect that it is because they are hosted on the server of your private yahoo email account, as they were apparently attachments on your email, so they are not accessible to others. You can put them on a free image hosting website and link to that instead. A good one is http://imgur.com/

Hemdallr, that's the kind of horror that may befall much of the world in the coming years, sadly :( Of course people will be shocked and surprised as if there was no warning, and the governments will also act as if it came out of nowhere..

I can't see them either.

I have found a few sites that have pictures and opinions of the event Katrina. I can remember feeling like I did as I saw the Twin Towers fall, slack jaw, in disbelief that this was happening in this day and age with the out come as it did. Like shell shocked

Wow, talk about making you feel absolutely minuscule! Those clouds sure do it.

wow, just wow

Hi Jeep. "Thanks You" for this Post . It brings back many memories, to the sutle change we call reality that sort of hides in the background to many events that come of late. Leaving people to fend for them self's. As the Twin Towers, it is marred with controversy and speculation of what happen and why. Excuse me Jeep for riding your coat tails!

Oh, boy! I assumed if I could see them, everyone else could, too! I have zero experience with what you've suggested, but I will make an attempt to get the images on the website. Thanks for the correcting 'how to'!

Just so you'll know, the bottom three images in M.A.O.'s reply #4 are identical but smaller versions of what I posted. I am a little sorry to be dredging up sad feelings attached to Katrina especially with the horror and misery currently being experienced by Haiti.

Hey Jeep: No issue. I shall never forget and should not. A your post serves as a good reminder to me and perhaps all, 4 constant vigilance. And to stay aware of what ones perception tells them, as too what is real and what is not!

Here's an image of the eye from Hurricane Katrina as seen from a "Hurricane Hunter" plane (NOAA aircraft Aug 28 05);

Here's another:


Such a spectacle!

I could not find the pic. with view of the eye with the pentagon or was it a star that looked wicked like satanical looking in the center. It was taken from space. And was it an indication to the forces at work from hyper-dimensional realms? Like a bleed through from 4D?

I can hardly begin to imagine how I would feel if that was coming toward me.... I had seen many images of the damage before, but not the hurricane itself. Awe-inspiring and frightening at the same time.

 

[Ca.]

This is not Katrina but another of one many previous hurricane's. Aim not sure which one, given the date of the pic..

Thing is that, generally, in a hurricane, they are SO BIG and people are so small, the visual effects are often lost to direct view. In some cases, in some areas, you CAN get some good perspective on the things, but usually not. It's just hours and hours of wind and rain and hoping that the roof won't be gone with the next gust.

ADDED: As I was writing the above, something about the photos above was bothering me. They were familiar to me as images that I had found on the net a couple years ago and downloaded to my "sky photos" folder which is connected to my screen saver. So, just to make sure, I had a look and, sure enough, there they are. Well, I wondered if they were actually Katrina photos since I remembered them coming from some storm chaser site. So, I tried to find them on the net using the file names in my folder. No luck. Next, I tried to find the original site I had gotten them from. I put in "storm photos" on google and guess what came up?

http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/storm.asp

I was right.

And here is the original site where they came from:

Like I said, when a hurricane comes, you are generally not granted such a view. It is way more chaotic than that.

I do remember seeing a photo of one hurricane taken at sea where there was an obvious, clear edge of the storm. Found it. It was Isabel:

But as you can see, it is some distance away and looks quite different from the photos above mislabeled as Katrina.
