A good friend bought a beachfront cottage in Galveston, TX a year or so ago. She was told it would probably be a month before anyone would be let back in to assess the damage. But she just got a satellite photo from NOAA and her cottage is one of 3 that at least are standing. There used to be 11 of them. The larger house 3 feet away from theirs is totally gone. Here are before and after photos.
