29 Hurricane Rita (September 24, 2005)

HURRICANE RITA

Hurricane Rita hit the Texas and Louisiana coasts on September 24, 2005. The photos taken in this gallery are primarily of the Fishing Pier and the Belle Mer high rise condo at Navarre Beach, Florida on September 22 and September 23. The water surge that flooded the Belle Mer is representative of the water surge among the garages and pilings of the high rise condos and the homes along the beach. Navarre Beach is about 300 miles from where the eye of Rita made landfall, but yet there was a lot of sand erosion here. There are a lot of photos of the Belle Mer pool in the garage area showing the exterior walls of the pool. A structural engineer designated by the Belle Mer Association Board will determine if any of the cracks are something to be concerned about.

Anne,

Thanks for your kind comments about my photography. I hope your relatives and God Children from New Orleans are o.k. God Bless!

I was very surprised today to win awards for my photos that were exhibited at the Power of Photography Show 2005 in the Pensacola Cultural Center Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I exhibited 10 photographs and received 6 awards. I received the following awards:

1st Place - Best Photo of the Show
1st Place Children
1st Place God’s Creatures
2nd Place Scenes
2nd Place Wildlife
3rd Place Wildlife

Thanks to all of the nice comments from this forum that have encouraged me to keep on shooting photographs. As an amateur photographer I am aware that I have a lot to learn. I will post the 10 photos I exhibited at the Show this weekend in one of my online photo galleries tomorrow. The Photo Gallery will be titled “Power of Photography Show 2005”.

Amazing pictures, Kenny. Thank you for giving me this first hand look at what has happened. I do hope you go on to a do a book of your pix of the storm. You have valuable records that can help with new building codes, new designs for living near the gulf, etc. As a Belle Mer resident, I appreciate all you've done.
