dpbillsfan Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 On the way back from Florida decided to take a detour and drive thru. Words can't describe the damage that is still there after 7 months. Drove on the road that is right next to the ocean and it looks 10 times worse than anything shown on tv. There must have been at least a hundred piles of broken up concrete 20 to 30 feet high sitting along the road. Empty concrete shells of hotels that look like parking garages because that was the only thing left. Houses still in shambles and RV's in every yard. Looked really just like a scene from a movie, almost to much to take in at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjeff215 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Nature calls it "recycling"... 650280[/snapback] I have a friend from down there in Ocean Springs, MS. They just opened a kitchen cabinet store down on the gulf. She drives back and forth every other week between there and Atlanta. They're bringing in quite a bit of money I think. This is like the third company they've started. One of these days, I'm going to as well.. I"m stuck trying to think up the perfect idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so surreal to think about that stuff not being there.....I used to go a couple times a year with my wife and in-laws....we always had a blast. I just can't imagine it GONE.

Like A Mofo Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 That wouldn't have happened if Bush hadn't appointed Mike Brown to FEMA. 650340[/snapback] Or if Bush's policies with Israel were different...saw that on ABC Nightly news months ago...some rabbi said that is why the US was getting slammed with hurricanes...and ABC reported this as if it were almost factual. Sad. Very sad. Hope that area recovers sooner then later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
