USS Alabama aerial pic

Here is a pic of the USS Alabama and battlefield park cut from the
weather service aerial photos. It has been enhanced a little. It
seems the MV's in the park are still there. The park was in the bottom
corner of the original pic and didn't have all of the outdoor exhibits
in it.

I saw a short news story on the park which said the battleship was
undamaged but was listing a few degrees. One hundred miles (my
guesstimation) from the eye and it still picked it up and moved it. I
think they said Camille was the only other storm to ever do that.

It also showed the indoor exhibits were all pushed in a pile, but they
thought most of it could be salvaged. They didn't even mention the
ground MV's.
