MEXICO BEACH, Fla. — The towering debris piles that lined Highway 98 are gone now, six months after the 16-foot storm surge from Hurricane Michael pulverized this town. But smaller berms of waste remain: concrete blocks, rebar, pipes and planks, mounded like artificial dunes on the side of the road.

Thanks for posting this and warning us.
My tagline seems to be appropriate here.
You can take the highway west from Port Arthur, TX (I believe it’s 73) and still see incredible debris and damage from hurricane Rita which happened in 2005.
Re lefist crap like tbis; see my tagline
Yup. I see it daily.

So government is responsible for fixing problems caused by natural events. Next thing, they’ll be blaming Trump for the storm. Wait! They already did!
Similar to the Katrina coverage. The little MS town of Waveland was virtually wiped off the map. Coverage-———pretty poor. Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian and parts of Gulfport too. Had the storm not turned when it did and gone west of New Orleans, there wouldn’t be much left of the Big Easy.
It’s weird as hell to name hurricanes with man names. That’s the real concern to me.
Excellent!
Every liberal is a liar!
We went through Hurricane Andrew in Miami; worked relief afterwards. Normally, the heavily Latin/New York influenced drivers were - how shall I put it - less than genteel. Hurricane hits; all changes. As if by magic traffic flows, then stops to allow cross traffic. Rinse. Repeat. “After you!” “No, no - after YOU!”. Stunning.
People swarm the streets, hauling off tree trunks, debris, downed (inert)power lines. Chain saws appear out of nowhere.
Worked the relief effort in the Panhandle, too. Same “get ‘r done” spirit. Sorry, MSM, but most of the world is not populated with gibs-me-dats waiting for the Gummn’t to rescue them.
Hurricane Michael? Wow, I didn’t know they named a hurricane after Obamas husband.
I totally agree. Another piece of Americana gone.
I’ve always found what you just wrote true throughout America. Rude on a daily basis and then coming together after a tragedy.
Hmmmm. Catastrophic damage is not totally repaired after 6 months. Shocking.
“The Liberal hatred for these people is simply disgusting.”
See my tag line.

The nation has been hit with a lot of natural disasters. Puerto Rico, I get it, there is a corruption problem. For the rest of the nation, we have to get our priorities in order. Stop blowing things up overseas and stop engineering regime change. Redirect those resources into getting necessary infrastructure and disaster repair done in the US.
Hurricanes happen on the coastlines of the world. They should be accepted as part of living and working there. Relocate if you can’t/won’t rebuild after a storm.
See, the people up on the north, up past the black hole on the east coast of FL of Key West-Miami-Palm Beach Broward County, do not have the right color, the right party, the right community organizer, the right religion to be promoted by the WashPo.
we drove through that area returning from spring break-man they got hit hard
