Ya know.. you see pictures like this and all you can say is "wow"
This is only about 60 miles from me in a place called Crystal Beach/Bolivar Peninsula.
Hard to believe people actually stayed and tried to ride the storm out..

I saw that on the news. The only house still standing, built in 2006? I think they said. Supposed to withstand a catagory 5.

That's one hell of a house. Not even a shingle missing.

Perhaps that builder should be put in charge of re-building.

Yeah, very cute. All passed out from sniffing gas and starter fluid.

It was a picture from someone that was affected by the storm. They didn't have power and I guess the baby decided to curl up with the puppies.

Took me a minute to figure out what the hell you were talking about.. Good Lord!
The photo your referring to was taken at Christmas 2006. Justin was 4

I have changed hairdressers since then.
Maybe I should go back if his haircuts took that many years off!

They had the owner on the last nights evening news and he said it was built withstand a cat 5 or winds of 135mph..He is hoping it will inspire the neighbors and to give them hope that they can live on the water..

Not me, I would be saying "fucl< it". Really hard to believe that some people stayed there during the storm.. Quite a few are missing and presumed washed out to sea

Reminds me of the Three Little Pigs. That house must have cost some serious That guy could have stayed home and watched football while his neighborhood washed away.
