#1 Secondhand from my brother, who I thought was elsewhere than Pass Christian when the storm hit, but wasn't...

Apparently the relatives he took shelter with on Second Street had the only house on the street left standing on their block by the end of the storm.

I don't know if that's counting the house that got moved in the middle of Second Street or not.

Helpful design hints: the house doesn't need to just be strong enough to stand up to a hurricane. It will need to be strong enough to stand up to the house that wasn't strong enough AND IS COMING RIGHT AT US!

The house might be on pilings way above the high-water mark, but that won't do anything to stop the barge...
