this pic is from the people who use to rent my house while building their massive house back on the ater that they lost in katrina...thi is the back bay rolling it.
her husband is handicap and so that is the handicap ramp they built for him to get out to their pier
this is some boat lifts that are pretty much close to being fully underwater. they are on the canal from the back bay
this is the pier out from said renters house you can see the roof and that is about it. which means the back bay is at about 20+ feet high right now and we haven't even made it to high tide yet. it will be safe to say that until this hurricane passes you won't be able to see the pier.
this is the retaining wall they built and they have appox a foot before the water goes over it...the bottom foor of their house those is a pool. the actual house doesn't start until another 5 feet up in the air so it will be safe to say i doubt they flood.
that is someones fence in their backyard that backs up to the back bay. They are next door to my old renters house. they do sit a little bit lower than my old renters...don't cha think?
this is water from the causeway bridge. you can't even see the bridge it is completely submerged in water. the next shot is an upclose but really all you can see is water...i might have a pic of what it should look like...i'll have to see
close up of the casueway bridge or lack there of right now :)
for more pics taken from various people who stayed you can click to our local news stations website here for the photo gallery.
i do know right now that the beach is flooding bad and so is the area with all the casino's and what we call "the point". But i am high and dry..so no worries.
I know i will be a busy bitch assessing damage come wednesday.
