On August 29, 2005 one of the greatest hurricanes hit Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi. They called it Hurricane Katrina. A huge percentage of the people living there lost everything. The storm took down houses, trees, and anything else you would imagine. It was a storm that nobody forgets.
In Bay Saint Louis I drive by a tree that is carved with angels almost every time I visit the town. The tree was an oak tree that stood outside of an Inn. The owner of the Inn had her two friends and one dog stay there thinking they would be safe from the hurricane. When the storm destroyed the Inn they climbed the tall tree and clung to it for many hours. The oak tree was the only standing structure near them. The group lived to tell the story too. The owner of the Inn got someone to carve angels into the tree because the owner claims angles saved them from the hurricane. Katrina was a very devastating Hurricane and an unforgettable one too.
