Slidell Seven Months Later

All of the following pictures where taken last week in Slidell. Most of them were along the water in the hardest hit area. I wanted to show you how bad it actually was and still is. One has to wonder how long things will stay this way, and will it ever be 'cleaned up'. Needless to say, we got really lucky. The main road in which our sub is off, flooded just a mile down the road and these people lost everything. It's amazing what mother nature can do, and not do. Just to think that the force of water alone, in some of these pictures, is what caused the destruction! And then you have the brave souls who are not afraid to rebuild- right on the water. Their willpower is inspiring (and a bit scary). I hope this gives you an insiders view of our little town.
