The picture on the left is a
beautiful quiet, calm mirror-like man-made small lake on the
Mississippi Gulf Coast about 4 miles north of the Beach Boulevard.
Notice how high the trees are in the background of the picture,
with small gaps in the tree line. The gaps play a large part
in what happened to the Cabin Cruiser in the next picture.
The picture on the right shows
what happened to the Cabin Cruiser when Katrina's Storm Surge
lifted the boat up out of Bayou Bernard, up into this lake, and
then up and through a gap in the tree line. What was, and still
is behind that tree line? Floral Hills Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
When the water slowly receeded, the Cabin Cruiser was gently
docked on the grass, in the center of the Cemetery. Most of the
Grave Markers in Floral Hills are flat markers, and the boat
came to rest nearly on top of some of them. The boat remained
there for several months, but has now been removed by the owner
of the boat. |
