[quote:Anonymous Coward 76778624:MV8zOTE2MjAyXzcwNjU0NDA2XzQ1QjIxMEMy] Even if the structure held, what was she planning to do when the water from the storm surge filled up her home. Swim around until the water receded? RIP, hopefully she wasn't mentally incapacitated with dementia or something and no one helped her leave. [/quote]
Original Message
Mishelle McPherson and her ex-husband looked for the elderly mother of a friend on Thursday. The woman lived in a small cinderblock house about 150 yards (meters) from the Gulf and thought she would be OK.
Her home was reduced to crumbled blocks and pieces of floor tile.
“Aggy! Aggy!” McPherson yelled. The only sound that came back was the echo from the half-demolished building and the pounding of the surf.
“Do you think her body would be here? Do you think it would have floated away?” she asked.
As she walked down the street, McPherson pointed out pieces of what had been the woman’s house: “That’s the blade from her ceiling fan. That’s her floor tile.”
