Holly Beach after Ike and Gustaf, 2008


As the community started to rebuild, roads repaired, the playground remodeled, electricity restored, along came Ike and Gustav in 2008.  This is what Holly Beach looked like in March, 2009.  I'm amazed at the capacity of these people who live on the edge with its horrendous risks.  Some give up, most just keep putting one foot in front of the other.  But they all sacrifice, and they all help one another; they are extraordinary.  And even bird houses are erected on stilts!
































And through it all, sturdy oaks still stand tall.
