I have pics of it from this morning, but I don't know how to post them here. I got them from my friend who is stationed in Kuwait, got them send there via email, supposed to come back in two weeks, apartment in Biloxi most likely gone, girlfriend still missing, and no where to go...............

We lost Homestead AFB from Andrew, now it looks like we've lost Keesler.

I was at Keesler in 1982 for tech training. If memory serves me correctly, this is a pic of the base movie theatre.

During Camille, instruments at Keesler measured sustained winds of 190 mph for three hours. Looks like the surge was worse this time, even if the winds were less.

It must look similar. I was there for training in Summer of '88 and I thought it was the theatre too.
Either that or I'm getting old.

Either that or I'm getting old. It does look similar. I blew up the pic and it's the Pass Road visitors center, probably at the Pass Road gate. I went through that gate every day for 8 months because my wife and I lived in a little apartment on Pass Road.
