The following photos are of the "Friendship Tree" which is found on the campus of University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast. in Gulf Port, MS. As you look at the photo's you will see that it looks like there are several small trees in the photo. These limbs grow down to the ground and re-emerge several feet away.
Be sure to click on the photo for a larger image so you can read about the history of this tree.
When David and I pulled into the parking lot of the college we talked to two men that had stayed during Hurricane Katrina. It is always very interesting to visit with locals who were actually there during the storm. These men told us that the eye of the hurricane came ashore in Waveland and Bay St. Louis, MS. These town's are west of Biloxi, MS.
When we left the campus we took a drive West and really saw much more devastation than in the Biloxi area. 99% of the homes and businesses in Waveland were destroyed during this hurricane.
