In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, the photograph above was taken of a single house that was left standing in the middle of a field of debris and water. Not a single other house or structure as far as the camera could see was left standing, and yet, here is this house, almost 100% intact.
I guess it’s just one of those weird phenomenon that happen that nobody has a logical explanation for. But man, is this one great photo.
The trend seems to be as follows.
1. Shopped!
2. It is not, Me/My Dad/My neighbour’s cousin’s best friend lives there, and that’s totally his house, you stupid jerk.
3. Haha, you guys are idiots, it’s just a good picture, leave it alone
And I for one, find this comment formula great, I wouldn’t change it for the world :)
Who would want to live there now? It’s a mess. No public services, no fire dept no police, no stores to shop at. Where’s my electricity, my sewer, my fresh water going to come from. Where are my kids going to go to school at? Sure the “area” may be rebuilt eventually. But I’m just sayin, the land is more valuable than the house sitting on it. Unless everyone is building to this spec, let the the house blow away. Your insurance company isn’t going to send you to a hotel when your house is still fine. You’re out there on your own buddy. Good job! Now go tell the wife and kids.
