Wrecked Pier

One of many damaged piers at the Texas coast. The tropical depression last week did not have any major winds, but a 2-3 foot storm surge and 10 inches of rain flooded the town of Rockport. I spent last week mucking out the downstairs of my coast house.

I'm so sorry about the damage along that coastline, and to your house.

It's not only the wind that's dangerous in low-pressure systems - oftentimes it's the storm surge, as is the case with this storm, especially now with rising sea levels.

This a superb image demonstrating the aftermath of these destructive forces.

Amazing capture of this ocean in turmoil! Sorry about the damage to your home, the price one pays on prime property.

So sorry to hear about the issues at your coast house… hope you are able to get it all resolved. Choppy water but beautiful light.

To bad there was so much damage. Very nice shot though

Sad but nature has to show its might every now and then. Great damage to the quay it seems.

Nice shot of the chop and storm damage. Sorry about your home, must have been a difficult clean up.

Oh no! So sorry about your coast house. But this photo with choppy sea is beautiful.
