Some of the most beautiful homes of the pre-Civil War era are down on the Gulf Coast.

Not any more! :-(

I know, I know :(

My brother now lives in N.O. (he moved there in Jan. of ‘05). The house across the street from him was a pre-C.W. home...during Katrina, the roof ripped off, the walls got soaked, and the house collapsed. It was in the process of being sold too. My brother had just had a new roof put on his house about 3 weeks before Katrina. He got off pretty easy compared to most (his house was built around 1910). He lost his garage and the wiring in his house had to be redone, amongst other things. Thank goodness he had flood insurance!
