Kevin R. Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 That is insane. The thing that caught my eye was the caskets coming up from the grave yard. Disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I know it's a fuck up situation and I feel bad for the people that lost everything, but pictures like that are unreal. Mother nature can do some crazy things. I thought the one of the football field was... cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mother nature can do some crazy things. I thought the one of the football field was... cool? No, I totally agree. The pictures were amazing to look at even though they were of destruction because they are not of something you see every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Awesome Pictures. I liked the football field. It makes you wonder when you look at the two pictures of untouched houses in all that destruction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 God I cant even imagine trying to ride out the storm with destruction like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblunt Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Winds hit something like 70 mph the other day in Columbus? Could you imagine double that with all the rain and waves? People who try to ride that stuff out deserve a swift kick in the balls from Darwin himself. Those pictures are too humbling for words.

Dr. Apex Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Amazing pictures. I have family in Houston that left before the storm got there and they are waiting to hear if their home is still standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at that too. I was wondering if they were even under ground. look at the grass it looks to still be in tact. anyways, good link. +rep for a good find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Kinda puts simply being without Electricity and in some cases water too in check vs what thousands of others are facing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty common down there for the burial site to have a concrete liner placed in the ground with a concrete lid sealed on top of the casket, then a big hunk of decorative concrete, granite, whatever placed over top of that. I've got family buried in Southwest Oklahoma, and all of the graves are like that. The top stone is visible, and a lot of them have the headstone info integerated with the lid.

FourString Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Who built this damn house? http://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/ike_09_15/ike11.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Who built this damn house? http://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/ike_09_15/ike11.jpg I thought the same thing. Though, I suppose it could have floated. My dad's got pictures from New Orleans when he was down there for clean-up, of all kinds of destruction. He's got pictures of one house that litterally was picked up, and floated overtop of two other houses, before being sat back down. He said you could see the original foundation with no house on it, then you walked between these two houses and there was a fully (mostly) intact home just sitting in the middle of the road. Mother Nature can kick our ass at whim. Like others have said, it sure is humbling. Puts the human race into check every so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
