Seeing these, it's no wonder there was such catastrophic damage done in Louisiana and Mississippi! Some of them look like a super-size tornado coming in from the water! Awesome in its' might!

I have never seen actual pictures of a hurricane. These are really clear. It takes a second for them to load. But, they are worth seeing.
