Very very tragic. Can't say they didn't think it would happen though...

I'm thinking the supports at eh near end were washed away and it collapsed, no way a road is that steep, crazy pic.

The house above was re-built after hurricane Rita to custom specs to withstand a category 5 hurricane. I guess the homeowners watched over the whole construction process to ensure it was done right. Doesn't say what it is made out of though.

The house will still have to be demolished due to water damage. Very cool that it is still standing.

I don't know, it is on pilings, as well you can just strip the drywall, spray for the mold, the shell should be salvageable.

that'll make more sense, no body spends the money to make it hurricane prove and not think about water damage.
