Awesome images of Katrina

[Brenda86]

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.

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?

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.

I was wondering about that at first because every time you see hurricane images on tv, it's the heavy rains and winds - extremely damaging and probably still quite unsettling/scary, but not looking like an enormous tornado.

Thanks for clarifying :)

Yes, those photos mislabeled as Katrina were tornadic type storms, some of which did produce tornadoes and others that never quite got there. They were certainly a LOT smaller than a hurricane.

This one is supposedly the leading edge of a hurricane:

but I need to find the provenance of the image.

People forget that hurricanes are sometimes a thousand miles across. At the very smallest, they are a few hundred miles across. You can't see that far even standing on level ground.

The most amazing hurricane photo I ever saw was one where the storm proper and it's feeder bands covered the ENTIRE Gulf of Mexico.

"Thanks" Laura. I was under the impression that the ones down loaded were from the Katrina storm. The site gave the impression they were. But all the picture posted are all very intimidating to say the least!

Sorry, I was unable to figure out how to get the images onto the website. I was going to ask my daughter for help, but the opportunity hasn't presented itself as of yet. But anyway, I guess those pictures weren't of Katrina after all? Even if not, they are remarkable and unsettling. Central Ohio experienced 85 MPH winds lasts year, the remnants of whichever hurricane that was passing by, and there was considerable damage to trees and roofs. Funny thing was, while it was happening, most people didn't realize how bad it really was - people were just out walking around and thinking, wow, it's really windy! I don't remember for sure now, but I don't think anyone was killed by falling limbs or trees. We had lots of fallen limbs, hanging limbs, and seed pod debris in our yard, finally resorting to burning to get rid of it all. The rest had to be cut and bundled and piled on the curb for pickup. The back of our lot has mature locust trees which did not hold up well to those high winds. We have skylights and I remember looking out and seeing how much they were swaying in the wind, but didn't think it was that much out of the ordinary. Only later in the day when I went outside did I realize how hard those winds must have been. My husband was not due back till the following weekend, but I insisted he come home to help with the cleanup - a chainsaw was definitely necessary to get the job done. I'm thankful that no trees were uprooted or fell on the house although one of our hawthorn trees did split in two. Other people in the metropolitan area weren't so lucky. It's definitely not pretty when Mother Nature goes on a rampage! Maybe we should stop pissing her off! :/

I live right outside of New Orleans in the hardest hit Parish. My house had 1&1/2 feet of water upstairs. We were originally planning to ride it out with some friends, but when I woke up on Sunday morning before the storm, I had a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. I new this one was gonna be a direct hit. As we pulled out, I remember taking a last look, knowing somehow that things would never be the same. I didn't realize how bad though.

I didn't even cry for a long time. I think I was in shock and kinda dissociated. When something like that happens, and you can't really lean on anyone else, because everyone you know lost everything too. Living in strange places and just wanting to go home.

Then there's the realization that it was all on purpose. It wasn't just an act of nature. We had been warned by a friend in local law enforcement, even before Ivan, that if the water got too high, they were gonna blow the levees (to protect the city). My family and friends that stayed heard explosions right before the water came.

To top it off, it may have even been a man-made storm. Check out HAARP's induction magnetometer data for the end of August through Oct. 2005, the data is just missing. There used to be some there and it was haywire.

It's sickening, and they did the same thing to Haiti and God knows who else.

I will repeat for the 1,000th time: HAARP has nothing to do with the weather. Please do a search on the forum.

I just joined this forum yesterday, pardon my ignorance of your views on the matter. More than happy to look into other viewpoints of what happened. It may be your 1,000th time saying it, but it's my 1st time hearing it.

Sorry. This has been coming up so much in just the past WEEK that I am about to tear my hair out and SCREAM! The disinfo program that Nick Begich started, funded by the CIA front run by Sue Brana, Gainsys, really has done its job well. People are convinced that HAARP is weather engineering while, if they knew what it was REALLY doing, they would storm the place and destroy it.

Laura I can say that the sentiment is echoed here on this form by all, that have the faith that you have brought. That there's a better place. But a few stares to climb and with a lot of patients with Knowledge as the guiding light. Your out bust is good sign of your feelings from your heart and the cry of the soul. It reminds of the movie "Network" and the famous speech given by Howard Belle, played by Peter Finch.

Peter Finch (28 September 1916 – 14 January 1977) was a British - born Australian actor.[1] He is best remembered for his role as 'crazed' television anchorman Howard Beale in the film Network, which earned him a posthumous Academy Award for Best Actor, his fifth Best Actor award from the BAFTA, and a Best Actor award from the Golden Globes. He is one of only two people to win a posthumous Academy Award in an acting category; the other was fellow Australian Heath Ledger.

I did have some idea of a connection between HAARP and brain waves. The levels of ELF that are generated or amplified are consistent with disruption or manipulation of normal brain function.

Still looking into the whole 4d weather effect or warfare, still not understanding that yet...trying different search keywords.

Hi Seraphina --

Still looking into the whole 4d weather effect or warfare, still not understanding that yet...trying different search keywords.

Have you tried a search using merely "weather 4D"? It brings up several threads which have information you might find relevant. Also, when you mention the term "warfare", are you hoping to find info about 3D, or do you mean 4D? I believe you are more likely to find something about the latter rather than the former (as far as the C's information goes, anyway). Keep searching and good luck, because there is a lot of information to read and process here :)

 

[Seraphina]

Thanks, I'll try that. As far as the warfare thing, I was thinking of the 4D variety. I just think of looking up "weather 4D"...so duh, on my part

No worries -- the more you search, the more you will learn how to search. Just do the same thing that you would on any other search engine and be creative with your various search terms.

A great tool for finding ocuurances of an image on the web is _http://tineye.com

You can upoad a picture to search for or just pass it an url to an image. It hasn't indexed the whole web but it's pretty good nevertheless.

For instance _http://www.tineye.com/search/71df19a9504fb8dbcb8c70dd5956513b8ff80179 gives you a lot of occurrances on the web for the picture Laura posted.

Looks like God's hand of work to me. We don't need to make God mad anymore. Now you got moron judge wanting to take God out of the pledge of Allegence. Will this country ever learn that GOD is ALL Powerful and only has so much patience?
