If you have followed us long enough, you probably can remember that on Monday Indy and I drop Marcia off at Bible Study, and then Indy and I go over to Crystal Beach, which is 4 miles away from the church. Well, this is what we saw today...
OH MY! The pier is GONE! Below is what it has looked like in the past...
I first went to Crystal Beach back in 2012 ... the pier has held up to other hurricanes, tropical storms, even vandals. I was just a bit shocked!
As we drove down to Crystal Beach, there were many signs of the flooding that the homes underwent.
Saw neighbors helping neighbors...lots of furniture and appliances which were ruined. Talked to one lady and asked how high the water came into the homes. She said that most had three feet enter their homes, some more, others less. Interesting enough that the homes down closer to the beach did not have water in their homes, but you can see where the debris had gotten real close to their front door.
What was missing were the people out walking their dogs, riding their bicycles, enjoying the wonderful, peaceful surroundings that makes Crystal Beach the place it is...
Hey Dad, it doesn't look like we are in Kansas any more...
