Both of them...

will be for sale on Ebuy as "slightly storm damaged." You can still see boats from Katrina, for sale on there.

Somehow I don't think that's what they had in

mind when they advertised for a car top boat.

Right away

Some people just don't understand sail boats have the right away.

Hmmm.....

Our short Chicago sailing seasons and occasional tornados and blizzards don't seem so bad right now.

Cleaning up that mess begs the question

Where do you put the debris? It can't be let where it is now. I guess the lumber can be burned. Or just pushed into heaps and left to rot but there is the detritus of living in there, appliances, durable textiles, electrical and plumbing material tons of glass.

There's usually a caravan of trucks

that haul the debris to a field, awaiting a landfill somewhere. Bulldozers push the debris to the street and FEMA has special trucks that have fingers on the end of a boom and it places the debris in a 40 yard dump truck.I'm sure in Texas they are using bucket loaders to clear areas. With land fills filling up quickly, I would imagine there are people there separating the debris for recycling. It sure is a mess though. I'm just upset that we as taxpayers are footing the bill for reestablishment of areas that are proven unsafe for buildings. But then, money does have it's privileges.

Keep it up,

floating docks

Here is a link to a fly over of the Bolivar Peninsula on the Texas coast (just east of Galveston). I find the beginning interesting as the boats all stayed with the floating docks. It is a shame the floating docks did not stay with the water.
