KATRINA AND IKE.....ONE - TWO PUNCH

LEFT NAWLINS AND WENT THRU THE CEMETERIES. ALL BUT ONE ARE OK. THEN THRU THE KATRINA AREA.

IMAGINE VERDUN, LASALLE AND LACHINE. THAT IS ABOUT THE SIZE. BUT EVEN IF THE LEVEE HAD HELD, THE AREA WOULD STILL BE WIPED OUT. THE ROOFS ARE RIPPED OFF AND THE HOUSE ARE WIND DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR.

MOVED ON TO MISSISSIPPI. GULF SHORES GOT HIT BY BOTH KATRINA AND IKE. HOUSES THAT BELONGED IN WESTMOUNT WERE BLOWN AWAY, RIGHT OFF THE FOUNDATIONS. 95% OF THE HOMES ARE GONE. UNBELIEVABLE.

THE BEACH IS AMAZING, 35 MILES OF SUGAR WHITE SAND, NO ONE ON THE BEACH. THE ONLY THINGS THAT SEEMS TO HAVE WITHSTOOD THE HURRICANES ARE THE WAFFLE HOUSE RESTAURANTS.

THE CASINOS ARE ALL REBUILT, AS ARE SOME CONDOS. IT WILL TAKE A LIFETIME TO REBUILD.

MOVED ON TO ALABAMA. GO RED TIDE.

TOMORROW, THE CIRCLE CLOSES......FLORIDA.

WILL R&R IN DESTIN, MEXICO BEACH AND PORT ST JOE FOR A WEEK BEFORE HEADING TO CRYSTAL RIVER.
