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.

She, she, out did, out did, herself, herself.
What a double batch of horse shit.
“People are not complaining but helping each other rebuild their homes and lives.”
That’s the way it seems all these natural disasters end up. Some folks get out and rebuild and help others rebuild and some just sit with their hands out demanding the government rebuild for them.
Unless you see it first-hand it is hard to even imagine the total devastation of an area like Mexico Beach.
I saw it about three weeks after. Drove through Mexico Beach, Tyndall and eastern most Panama city.
It was truly like it had come under a bombing attack.
I’m making a small retirement nest in nearby Wewa. I remain hopeful about the rebuilding process. Good people down there.
I have a cousin who owns a lakefront house at least
somewhat in the path of Hurricane Michael. He was
working on the Great Lakes at the time Michael
blasted through. I called his cell phone from NorCal
not knowing he was away from Florida so he had no
idea if his house had sustained damage. When he reached
home he learned of downed trees but no house damage.
Meanwhilem here on the West Coast 2 other cousins
(brothers) simultaneously had their 2K acre ranch
sitting in the path of California’s largest forest
fire (no, not the Paradise ‘Camp Fire’) which had
started as two separate fires which burned together
to form one fire near Clear Lake. That fire missed
my cousins’ place by less than a mile. We all
figured that Someone was trying to send our family
a message.
I am not in the panhandle but you are right. This is the fake news searching for TDS. DeSantis is working with DC to help where appropriate, and the folk in north Florida are hearty men and women, not whiners.
yes, ground zero...
tranny hurricanes.
I live just south of Mexico Beach. You didn’t read the article.
FU
My brother lived on 208 and cutler road. He got hammered HARD!
It took 15 months to get him back into his house
Where were you located during Andrew?
Folks were in Hialeah, no power for 2 weeks
I was in Hollywood, power out for 12 hours.
I ran supplies down south for months.
Yep - went through it after Katrina...once the critical areas were cleared, getting peopl’s lives back together trumped “pretty-fication”...
"So government is responsible for fixing problems caused by natural events."
Let's see now, my tax dollars built the roads, water supply, helped with electrical grid, etc., etc. Again, unless you know what's going on then you remain clueless.
