In 2004 Brevard county took several multiple hits from multiple directions for now well known storms. Charlie from the west, Frances and Jeanne from the southeast and Ivan sucker punched up. We had tornadoes and beach erosion. We lost multiple hotels, restaurants and homes to these storm furry. This is what is left of a riverside dock that these storm took apart piece by piece like tinker toys. The dock at the time of the first storm Frances was loaded with boats. Some feel prey and sunk in there location. It a boat did survive the attack it's own had trouble getting to evaluate the damage because of the dock damage. Sheets of alummiun was pull from the dry dock and threw it through the local neighborhoods.
The boat you see docked is a local fisherman. There is no walkway to get from were he is tied to shore. He was just out there netting fish This is the Fire Rescue boat for your local Fire Department. This is the only boat left docked at this marina.
This is the restaurant over looking the marina. The windows were blown out this restaurant and it was flooded with storm waters. They have since sold the marina and restaurant and will level both and build riverfront condos. Yeppie more of the riverfront covered by multistory condos. The last picture is taken at the end of a beautiful day.

great colors in your pictures. I take a lot of water pictures too. living on the coast. Sorry to hear about the condos going up. Stinks huh? You'd think they'd of learned from the hurricane damage that it might not be a GREAT place to build homes. DUH!
Gorgeous! Colorful! Tragic! Breathtaking!
Beautiful pictures....sad story!

I like these and the story that goes with them.
The sunset is my favourite, I perhaps would have cropped it a little, so the horizon was not so centered, but that really is a small CC, i love sunset shots and this is really lovely.
thanks for sharing
I love the boat pictures, they are beautiful!
NIce job with these. The story is so very sad.
I like that your beautiful sunset photo is the last one, like the hope and faith of knowing that time will bring changes...
Those are great...love the sunset picture!
