content: In a house being torn apart by hurricane winds, this clock stopped at 9:27. The eye of Katrina passed over the Gulf Coast at approximately 9:45 on the morning of Sunday, August 29, 2005. At 9:27, the eye wall's ferocious eastern wind bands were just reaching out for the seaside residential community of Waveland, Mississippi. Smithsonian collectors found the clock in a field. Nearby uprooted trees and leveled houses told the tale of what happened before and after this timepiece left the kitchen wall on which it once ticked.
