Looking South to the ocean.........this all used to be sand, sand plants, and a parking lot. Now it is a small salty lake with a crumbled shore...... See the little building to the left.....kind of under the big building? It is (was) the cinder block bathrooms. They were not very nice, but they were bathrooms. Closer shot of the tilting bathrooms. Closer shot of the parking lot that no longer exists. After taking a drive through Surfside, I was even more thankful than I had been before...........to see the destruction so close to home reminded me again how the Lord put a hedge around our city. We are about 5 miles from this place as the bird flies.........and I'm thinking hurricanes take routes that birds do, they don't stay on the highways. This building you see is the place we would 'go to the beach'. We would park in this lot and walk to the water, or park on the beach, with the building behind us. Probably not long from now, the whole place will be torn do...
