Because of costal erosion over the last few decades the beach has literally gone from hundreds of yards away to practically on the front porch. The irony here is that Rita will have reversed years of work to improve the erosion around this area of the coast.
It looks to me like it was a bare beach before the hurricane. I don't see any rubble.
"Looks like a town that was literally built on the beach."
Most countries around the world do NOT allow anyone to live near a beach. It is called common sense.
Americans are sadly lacking in common-sense since FDR and his socialist friends took over the nation's "education" and converted it over to re-education propaganda centers - no need to actually LEARN anything.
Maybe this would actually teach a lesson? I doubt that many have the intelect to realize that it was THEIR fault they were 'devastated'.
knee-jerks ... turn on you tears now about - "it aint there fault ' "yada yada yada" as your hero would say.
The ocean put the sand there, and it can takle it back any time it wants.
Thats what I was thinking. It does look just like a beach.
Yep...Hurricane Audrey in the '50s wiped Cameron, LA out, killing over 600 in the storm surge. But they built right back on the beach. Now we are supposed to be shocked that the storm took everything back out to sea again. Whatever is built back will wind up the same way...maybe in 2 years, 10 years or 50 years, but it will be flattened.
