This is the empty field where my mother's house stood before the flood of 2008. It's kind of sad to drive by but I know this is a good thing. Life goes on and the city must fix itself and rebuild.
This is the missing section of foundation from my mother's house after the flood. She was red carded, which meant that entry was not adviced. The city decided in 2009 to tear down all the red carded houses at the city 's expense because no one was fixing them. In late 2009, the house was torn down and they offered to buy out my mother's house. She is in the process of saling it to to the city now. Silver lining, anyone?
