The View from Holly Beach

Or what’s left of it.

We watched a news report before coming down to the beach and the owner of the trailer/restaurant called Meaux’s seafood was interviewed. Her family had an entire restaurant and house on the beach and after the hurricane, only their two palm trees (in the video) were left. The government said she had insufficient damage to receive funds. If that’s insufficient damage no one would have received money.

Just for reference, this is a comparison of the beach before and after the hurricane. The top picture is June 16, 2001 and the bottom picture is September 28, 2005.
