In shock
Below is a picture, post-Ike, of the coastal town of our family's beach cabins - Canal City. Devastation isn't really the right word to describe that there is ONE home left standing from a neighborhood of dozens. It's a bit surreal to think this beach house, built by my grandfather and his buddies over 50 years ago, was obliterated by wind and water.
The comforting thing is that I know all the many memories I have of this beach house and time there with my family there can't be taken away by a hurricane.

Your family still owns the land, right? So maybe you can carry on the tradition and re-build on the same site.
Oh my! I saw that pic in the paper yesterday and couldn't believe the one house still standing.
I am sorry for your loss, but as you said your memories cannot be washed away.
Wow.
(no words)
Yikes! Good thing you weren't in it.
Katie I am so, so sorry. I hear about this (your family's place) and have been wanting to let you know we were sad to hear the news. You are dear -
