So that's what all that is. I've seen it from the air and wondered.
There used to be a lot more land in those marshes. Had the coastal erosion been dramatically reduced the storm surge would not have been so bad. Now I understand why everyone south of I-10 was told to evacuate when Lili was aimed right at us. There is less land between the Gulf and interstate now. I'm glad that storm turned away and went in a fairly unpopulated area.
