I 10 is about 5 miles north of the beach...Katrina hit in broad daylight....show me one pic of water from the beach to the 1 10....show me surge damage north of I 10...as for 12 miles, thats just weird.

Once again, coastal Mississippi is higher than coastal Louisiana, so surge cannot travel as far inland. The surge from Cat 3 Audrey, which hit the same area of Louisiana, caused damage 25 miles inland.

First rule of holes - when you find yourself in one, stop digging.
