I posted earlier about the lighthouse and how it was still standing but looked to me from the after storm aerial photos that is had lost one leg. Sadly that seems to be the case...
One Wobble Away
Sounds like a great title for a song about living in the Hurricane Belt along the Gulf. Or the East Coast either for that matter...
