Gulfport Study
This picture was taken looking northwest from an airplane as it moved
toward the four story building seen in another picture, just passing the
west side of Gulfport Pier.
1. This four story building has roof top damage.
2. Other pictures and locations show damage from this direction, marked
with the oval.
3. This shows that a microburst happened within the circled area and sent
high wind into the surrounding area.
