Ocean Springs Research Area and Locations Where Pictures were Taken
This picture was taken looking west. Two lines of force can be seen:
1. East to west direction line that is in the same line, or parallel to
the direction that the tree fell on the right side in Picture 2.
2. Southwest to northeast direction line indicated by the net and wood.
3. The tree fell happened first, the net and wood second. The geological
principle of superposition gives evidence
that the order of events during Hurricane Katrina was as follows: Firstly,
wind blows the tree down in an east to west direction. Secondly, flooding
covered it with the wood and the netting from the southeast to northeast
direction.
4. The tree on the right shows that it fell from the east direction to the
west a similar direction to the wall damage in Gulfport and the roof damage
in the apartment complex in Biloxi. The tree on the right side in Pictures
2 suffered similar damage. The netting and wood are found in the same southwest
to northwest direction as the flood in Gulfport.
