Aerial shot of Bay Bridge (taken on 28 April 2006)

My best friend from elementary school Ellen Felder took this photo a couple of weeks ago of the Bay Bridge that connects Bay St. Louis to Pass Christian.  You’re looking at the Bay St. Louis side.

If I recall the stories correctly (and as the joys of blogs and radio talk shows go, someone will correct me if I’m wrong), after Camille hit, you could still drive across the bridge, but it was broken into three sections, forcing you to make a 90 degree turn several times.  Here you can see just how worse Katrina was.
