Had to give a guy a ride to his boat today. It is on the side that flooded heavily and people had to be rescued. The place where 2 people did not make it. Here are a few pictures;
Have no idea where this boat came from. must have been on a trailor in somebody's yard. The house is in worse shape than the boat.
Bottom and second windows up were broken. Water was higher than that. Some more homes.
This trailor was washed from somewhere and deposited against a pole and tree and gas meeter with the porch still in tact. I found this quite interesting.
3 large trailors were washed awayand deposited in the woods.
I feel very sorry for these people, having lived through this, they are in worse shape because they have to gut, dry, rewire, reinsulate and in some cases tear it all down if it is determined to be structuraly unsound. With me there was nothing left so we had a modular brought in. In thier favor is the fact that construction people are nearby and they are able to get started right away. The homes down here after Katring had to wait over 2 years before they could undretake a project like that.
I dodged the bullet this time.
Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.
