Today for the first itme after the storm, we ventured out to the beach. Months later and the signs of Hurricane Ike are still very evident far inland. A drive through Bolivar Peninsula however really showed us the power of the storm. Small communities where houses once stood were only left with stilts in some places, other areas nearby remnants of houses still stand. Amazingly people are rebuilding right along the beach front again... probably the lucky few that have received their insurance settlement. A long battle between isurance companies is underway to assess who pays for what. Was the house that is not longer there damaged by the wind or by flooding waters?
Pelicans and seagulls, where did they go during the storm? They where out in large numbers today along the beach and by the harbor.
