Good heavens, if this is the one I am thinking of, I always stopped there for trickets to take back to family and friends. I sure hope this isn't the same one that Bongo Joe used to sit in front of and perform. I have a friend who is still living in a hotel there because the insurance companies are fighting over whether her home was destroyed by the wind or the water! Neither company wants to pay up, meanwhile, she is homeless.

The devastation is incomprehensible Richard. It looks like this part only just survived.

It's easy for us to forget that things are not fixed-great shot and a poignant reminder.

A real reminder of what nature can do to our surroundings and indeed our lives, such devastation for those living there. Terrible to know people are still homeless due to insurance companies arguing. This is an excellent capture Richard, thank you for sharing.
