Any chance of finding a “before’ pic?

Here is a few before and after pics of Crystal Beach. That second set may be subject house.

Nope, after further review, I believe subject house is closer to Gilcrist. I can see Rollover at the top of pic. Probably in Caplen area.

Thanks, that’s exactly the kind of shots i was looking for!

It’s amazing, the devestation. The only houses that survived were all built up on piles (appear to be driven timber piles in this case) but not all houses built on piles survived. It would be interesting to do some serious forensic engineering and see if there is any commonality in what worked and what didn’t.

Man, I sure feel sorry for all those people effected, but I sure wouldnt’ expect they get any federal money for building in such an area.
