Sorry for the lack of posting folks, but life is getting really busy, and I have also launched a new blog. It can be found by clicking here and is my newest hobby/business/ creation. So buy something. even better, tell your rich uncle the contractor to buy lots of stuff. Lots.
Anyway, still back on the coast of MS, and trying to assess some of the carnage there to help out. Am working on a project in Bagdad (Biloxi's new name) and am blown away be how bad it still is. If anyone meets anyone from hands on USA be sure to thank them, buy them a beer, or otherwise show your gratitude. they have really been busting some tail to help folks out down here.
I have a few photos from down on the coast, so see what you think:
Shame About the mustang....
Wind and storm surge in Ocean Springs
this is front beach of ocean springs, looking out toward Biloxi's back bay. This photo was taken in early December.
A former historic home in ocean springs. it floated off the foundation and was carried about 15 feet northeast of where its foundation sits.
I have not had a chance to take any pictures of Biloxi, but i can say this - they still need a lot of help. A lot. it was estimated that 10-11% of the city had flood insurance, and about 98% of it was destroyed. Do the math. It will take an average of $50,000 to fix each house, and the average Homeowner's payout is around 7500.
keep the thoughts and donations coming folks........
