Made it back home to see the Thunderbirds fly over Biloxi Beach at the Keesler Air Show over the weekend. It’s always a treat to see the TBs as I grew up firmly inside Blue Angels territory.
Of note, the Biloxi lighthouse is to the bottom right and one of the Biloxi schooners is to the bottom left. I snapped this from the fourth level of Beau Rivage, about 60 feet off the deck. The Port of Gulfport is about 12 miles out to the horizon.
Well, it never made it to a Hurricane, and by the time it got close enough to be a concern had dropped down to a Tropical Depression.
Then fell away to nothing.
This was Biloxi Beach this weekend. Those are 13m kite board kites laid out by local boarders hoping to get some wind. They have to have at least 12mph winds to get airborne.
So yeah, they mainly just waited.
What tropical storm?
In other news, if you look in the far left corner the ship silhouetted in the distance is the USS Pearl Harbor (LSD-52) also known as “The Black Pearl” for her part in Anti-Pirate operations around the Somali Coast.
