just some background.
two weeks ago we had some very severe storms which caused in a lot of flooding and wind damage across my area.
also what happened this ship got stranded near the coast and they have been unable to remove it so far

Wow! Are they going to have to wait for an abnormally high tide to get it out? I guess the angle it is sitting is causing the problem.

Wow, very cool.....at least to look at. I am sure its going to be a pain in the butt for someone. Seems like the longer it sits there the harder it may be to remove it. Thanks for sharing the pics.

The situation looked pretty bad, but awesome pics nonetheless. Thanks for posting those!
How often do you see a ship get beached on the coastline after a severe storm?

Happened right about the time some North Texas areas got flooded. What a coincidence!

Was there any fuel spill in connection with the grounding?

Something like that happened many years ago off of Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. It took a long time to get the ship moved.

I remember seeing a special on TV about a company trying to move a boat, I think it was in Alaska, cause it was so cold and they could only go there at certain times and then they had a very short "window of opportunity" to move it within. It was an interesting program.

Yep...hence the reason for the crazy amount of $$$ tied up in commercial salvage operations...
