Description
This pine tree stood in Bay Saint Louis, MS before Hurricane Katrina blew through the town. Water and storm surges do not twist trees open to the point that you can see the inside fibers of the tree. Cyclonic winds, however will do just that. They will also suck whole trees out of the ground, breaking off the roots that anchor those trees. There was a great deal of physical, scientific proof that Hurricane Katrina's winds did an enormous amount of damage along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This photograph proves that quite a bit of the damage from Hurricane Katrina was due to chaotic winds that preceded the storm surge.
