In 1998, the lighthouse was toppled by Hurricane Georges. In 2005, reconstruction of the lighthouse was in progress, but the structure was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The foundation survived for a while, but Katrina and other Hurricanes made restoration difficult. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_Island_%28Mississippi%29 http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=339 Recent efforts abandoned on-sight restoration, instead, rebuilding the lighthouse inland as a historic structure using materials from the original island structure. This listing is the new ARLHS museum number... http://arlhs.com/definitions.html
