Hurricane Rita pictures
Some of the pics were taken right after, others a few weeks, a month and some a few months afterward. I can't possibly post all of them and as said in many other places, it's just not the same thing when looking at the damage through pictures. I took some of these and others were taken by other area residents and a few from the newspaper, etc.

Those are amazing pics!
It's hard to imagine (for some of you) what devastation a hurricane can do. Seeing and living one is awful; worst then those pics.
My heart goes out to all who have been affected as I know too well what it is like from Charley last year.
Thank you for sharing those photos!
