cluless Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 The grass looks really nice though. Just goes to show what 10-20 feet of water will do for a lawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Man Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Forgit it! Here in Florida we still can't get a lot of roofs repaired from last years huricanes. You still see alot of roofs covered with blue tarps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 The grass looks really nice though. Just goes to show what 10-20 feet of water will do for a lawn. Here's the driveway. She estimates the plastic bags mark the water level. Errrr, Did you post a pic? I did not show up on my screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluless Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 Thanks Cal, I could see the pictures just fine, but I guess that no one else could. I reposted the first picture in the original post, and here's the one of the drive. The plastic bags in the trees probably mark the water level from the storm surge. As ya'll can tell, a roof aint gonna fix this problem. Anyone want to buy a lot in Long Beach MS? Actually she is gonna hold out for a few years if she can.

cluless Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 Lynn, You got that right, her safety and health are the most important things. She was also very fortunate that she had flood insurance, many people she knows lost less but are in worse straits because they did not. Anyway, here are some rather humorous/strange photos from the area. First, someone told me that the only thing missing from this photo was a couple of vultures.

cluless Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 Those pylons in the background were to keep the condos that used to be there above flood level. They needed to be a bit taller, me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluless Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 Here's what they don't show on the news. The area south of the railroad tracks was cordoned off with razor wire, you had to prove residence and surrender your license to go there, providing of course that they were letting anyone in that day. This was a necessary evil for a number of reasons. Health, safety, looting, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
