It took a while for me to put this together, simply because of my personal situation and the fact that there is so much devastation here. Please keep in mind that these images are only a taste of what has happened here, most homes are now in an unlivable condition because the roofs were torn off and there is much mold and mildew setting in, making it unsafe to live in. Many homes lost more, including carports and half of the homes in some cases. Frances hammered us the first time with her category two winds and ripped off many roofs, then three weeks later Jeanne finished a lot of what Frances started. As I got out and drove south today I was very humbled at what I saw, and I thank god that my house only lost a few shingles. Many people here have nothing, but at least they are alive right? And just think hurricane season doesn't end until after Thanksgiving only to start up again in June. I will still be amongst the missing as I have family members that need me now, I don't spend much time online anymore. I am going to start off with a humorous image, this is Austing "wind surfing" hours before the hurricane hit in tropical storm force winds.
