Aerial photos of LA and MS Gulf Coast, Post Katrina

Photo of east side of bridge Bay St Louis area of MS.

Aerial photos of Mississippi Gulf Coast, Post Katrina access by clicking here. LA and AL photo will soon be posted on the site.

I cannot find a tree which remains standing in MS so far, not to mention a bridge with any section of pavement. Pillars seem to be standing but no paved surface anywhere. Casino barges are scattered around, houses wiped out, etc. MS aint pretty at all.:shock:

New updates now available, including aerial photos of LA.

Have patience. It takes a short while to download, but worth the wait. If you know where your home is located, you will be able to see if it is still standing -- I hope it is still standing and dry.

I hope they can get this cleaned up before it pours into the gulf.

I think we are wishful thinking. The polution factor will be the Exxon Valdez times ? 10? 20? I don't know, but it is going to be bad. You won't see me eating any oysters from the Gulf for a while.

Kurt stated earlier that the Gulf waters typically pushes west towards TX, so I guess, locally speaking, we are fairly lucky once again.

Will the marine life stay there and suffer the results, or will they relocate? Anyone know? AquaticBioligist, you there?

Guess this is why our beaches here in TX are brown....here come the tar balls!

Another scary site. These maps pinpoint toxic materials in states effected by Katrina:

Sorry, folks. Been busy helping out as much as possible. MS is pretty much gone below the knee. Yep, bad water=flee! Underwater stampedes can even occur if things get really bad. Anything 1ft below the surface is safe from the oil if there are no waves, since the oil floats on top, but lack of oxygen is what gets them since the surface can't respire oxygen since the oil floats on top. Birds get it worst since they lose flotation due to weight of oil in feathers. Exhausted. Sleep now.
