You can see the what the ship channel has done in and out of the lake....causing stronger tides and more wave erosion...
Just a prime example of how fast land can wash away.... Take the little island that was on the north side of the entrance to Grand Bayou. This island was well formed pre Rita ...then post Rita it took a lick but still was a piece of land only smaller. Next storm Ike washed away some more of it and now the island is no longer there. Amazing to watch a piece of ground disappear in a few years.
Making another example is the island which separates Long point from the channel... One of the old timers at Hebert's landing said..If you was to place a fence on the edge of that land once the channel was built...you would of had to rebuild it 100time or more...
