These are videos of the Katrina storm surge, made at the overpass of I-10 and 603 to Waveland/Bay St. Louis, the afternoon of the hurricane. The water is near the top of the bridge and covers Hwy. 603 in both directions. The videos were made several miles from the Gulf. Our home is approximately 3 miles east on I-10 and 1 mile north from here. Videos were made by some Diamondhead boys.
Wow is all I can say. My family and I stayed near this intersection for a week of vacation recently, and we could see the foundations where houses had been and many, many, dead skeletal trees still standing. Unbelievable. The owner of the house we rented was swept away and killed in Katrina.
