Good grief! The last shot of the tidal storm surge wave was simply terrifying!

You beat me to it. I've seen this is email form recycled several times, each with different commentary and explanations from 'experts'. These pics are cool, but the explanations and locations are wrong.

The last picture at least got the storm right, it is Katrina, though the pictures were taken from a power plant, and it is water flowing over the top of the levees rather than a tidal wave.

I know, that was the worst part. The 'expert' pointing out the "tidal wave".

I have been in many a hurricane. I don't recall the clouds ever looking like those. The second and third pictures remind me of a cold front approaching that I once saw in Oklahoma. Here are some pictures I took as it approached.

And some poor a-hole in a Cessna 172 was probably sweating bullets and trying to arrive somewhere ahead of that blanket....

Warchild, that is not a picture of the "Katrina tidal wave" it's a picture of a levee being overtopped.

According to the link ....



<DT>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. </DT><DT></DT>
