Barrier Islands Before and After Storms

#1 Postby LSU2001 » Mon Jan 09, 2006 7:40 pm

Here is a good site that shows the Chandeleur Islands before Ivan, Dennis, Katrina, and Rita and the same Islands after the above storms. This onslaught has caused severe damage to the chain and this does not bode well for future storms impacting La. Miss. and Ala.

That is scary. It is hard to believe that the second pictures are the islands after Katrina. There is nothing left.
