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 landfall.
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.

I live in Bay St. Louis and went through Katrina here. Those are NOT pictures of Katrina, especially the last one that says it was the tidal wave at Saint Stanislaus. That is A HOAX. It is actually taken at the MR GO in New Orleans, but someone cropped the columns of the bridge off and said it was in Bay St. Louis.

Even an untrained eye (my 10 yr old) can tell these photos are faked, and badly at that.

ive seen these same pictures labeled many times as different things ‘bad storm in kentucky’ and such. this isn’t in mississippi. mississippi has hills and trees, not great rolling plains.
