Tropical Storm Cindy

Tropical Storm Cindy was mainly a nuisance for Mississippi. With 6 - 8 inches of rainfall, the biggest problem was flooding in low lying areas. A higher than expected storm surge surprised some of the supervisors where I work. Yes, they were working during the storm. New Orleans appears to be suffering the most. 250,000 homes had power knocked out and by 10:00pm, it is expected that of that number, 150,000 will have had their power restored. There was a lot of reports of downed trees and a few buildings sustained some damage. WDSU News

Below are some pictures I took of the parking lot where I work and the small craft marina close by. These were taken at Biloxi's Back Bay at 8:00am and the water had gone done almost 1 1/2 feet by then.





They had to move the trucks about 4:00am. In the bottom picture, close to the red marker, you can just barely see a boat that was sinking.
