The look and leave does not apply to that area, nor will the mayor STILL not let the media fly over that area and photograph the damage....something is up.....

I hope it is not what I think it is....

They finally let them into Bolivar.

I thought maybe they haven't sent the recovery crews through the area yet.

they said it would take aboout 72 hours for the entire SAR operation and they were moving towards the west. I imagine the operation is just wrapping up

you know people died down there, and you know SAR is still going on....

put 2+2 together....who's got the higher priority, the home owner who's got to wait 24hrs longer to see a picture of there house, or the family of a deceased person who doesn't need to see a picture of there loved ones floating dead....

I've been waiting to see aerial photo's of San Luis pass and the causeway to Freeport. Are you guys aware of any photo's? Are you aware of damage to the bridge?

Looks like the pier survived with some damage. You will probably have to expand the pic to see the detail. Bridge looks okay.
