Hurricane Isaac

Hurricane Isaac threatened Ocean Springs with high water more than high winds.  The water level got up to our slab elevation, which is around +9.5 feet.  No damage to the house or boat house, but some bundles of lumber did try to float away.

This is the view from my neighbors front porch on 8-28.  The water has covered over our dock and is about at street level:


Here's a view on 8-29 from her porch.  The street and most of our front yard is flooded.  The black bundle is lumber trying to escape.


Another view on 8-29, looking out toward the bayou, which has encroached on alot of normally dry areas.  The tuft of marsh grass is the normal bank of the bayou.
