Holly Beach Aftermath
The devastation of Holly Beach after Hurricane Rita, reduced to just foundations and sticks, with reflections on a beloved vacation spot and its resilient community.
I saw a few people found this blog while searching for information about Holly Beach after Rita.
Sorry to report folks, Holly Beach is only foundations and sticks. T&T’s is gone. The Daquari Shop is gone. Every single thing. Here’s a before picture.
Here is an after picture, courtsey of the Associated Press.
Both the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times have our favorite beach on the cover.The second I saw Rita was heading for Sabine, I got out my necklace made with a Holly Beach shell and some crab string I got at T&T’s. I also got one of those white shell necklaces and put that on too. It’s some sort of comfort – I just wish I could be there to help.
But Holly Beach will return! A few nice visitors to the blog commented that their family will rebuild as soon as its allowed. Hell, I may even buy some property there and cart in a poodoo trailor. I just hope T&T’s gift shop comes back too.
