mexico beach: before & after michael

Recommended Posts

a friend of mine has a home in mexico beach. she was sure her house was going to be destroyed in michael. luckily enough, her house was one of the few that was spared complete destruction in her neighborhood. they did sustain a significant amount of damage to their roof and probably some flooding (they haven't been able to get down there yet to check on it because of the extensive damage to infrastructure), but the house wasn't blown away entirely. here's a couple pics of their house from satellite view. the first is pre-michael, and the second is on 10/11. their house is the only one on the south side of the street that survived.

two of the houses formerly on the south side of the road ended up getting blown off their foundations and pushed across the street into another building. that's a pretty stiff breeze.

In twenty years that street will be underwater 

Only 20? I'm not really sure exactly how fast the sea level is projected to rise if nothing changes but i feel like it would be faster than that. 

Not that it matters. It's going to be devastating as fuck no matter how long it takes.
