I was late getting to the thread today (work) and your post was the first I saw of the NOAA satellite images (originally posted by NautiNurse, if I have done my research right this time).
When I looked at that, zoomed up, and saw the house; I remembered the photo of that lone house that was in the Daily Mail article, that another Freeper (IM2MAD) had posted a link to. I hadn't meant to slight another Freeper or to give you "all the credit" for the photo; that was just sloppy writing on my part.
Also, thanks for posting the rest of your comment, about how you are thinking that the lone house was built that made it a survivor. Your explanation makes sense.
Bolts are cheap. Forces strong enough to lift a house against gravity suck. Failure to bolt is a mystery to me.
I'm trying to remember the old nursery rhyme my mama used to recite - For want of a nail, the shoe was lost...
I think the poem goes something like this.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the king was lost.
For want of the king the battle was lost.
For want of the battle the kingdom was lost.
All for the want of a nail!
One thing that continues to amaze me is the interviews with people who say they have no food. They had weeks to stock up, and could certainly carry some canned goods with them even if they have to evacuate. These did not look like people who fled through flood waters after their houses collapsed.
No problems on this end, jut setting the record straight.
While I’m here, I don’t think those are sat images, high altitude aerial instead. Seen those collections before, after Katrina and again after Rita and memory seems to tell me they were aerials.
