Some of you may have seen the pictures I took on Aug 27 2005, the day before Katrina's landfall. Included in those was this one:


The question I posed at the time, was who was going to clean up the concrete left on the beach after it gets scattered. I still don't know if anyone will remove it, probably not. For a while, I thougt the storm covered the broken slab with sand. Today, I found the truth. The chunks of concrete are scattered in the Gulf in front of this house. Please be careful when playing in the water in front of Gulf Trace.

Shame on those neglectful or disrespectful homeowners.:nono1:

What does in look like now?

My husband and I took a walk last week to Seaside from our condo. We passed a pile of debris and what must have been someone's septic system. At least that's what I thought it was based on the way it smelled! :shock: :blink: :shock:

I did not take photos in Gulf Trace today, but it simply looks like small chunks of concrete in the water. Also, the house, third from the west end, has been taken out by big yellow equipment. I am sure the same will become of the other severely damaged ones.

Scented vinegar? Balsamic, maybe? :rolling:

Put a shot of rum in that and you might be onto something big.

A little rum, tekillia, and/or vodka cures all (in most cases). :cool:
