this area is a bit more closer to the beach.. hence the almost 'flatened' appearance..
This is what the fishing nets caught on that day.. :(

More of that same house.. :(
I hated taking pictures of them in this state.. but it speaks volumes about what they lost, and how hard it is to give it back to them..
