Key West Streets - Irma

This  the 600 block of William Street. This looks bad...

 This is where the damage happened and the house is the worst damaged in Key West. Talk about scapegoat poor buggers:

 There's tons of debris still in the streets:

 Which deosn't stop people driving like there's no trash in the streets at all.

 Smurf Village seems to have done amazingly well. I'd never have given those homes a chance in a Category Four.

 Trees and fences everywhere. Homes mostly okay.

 

They say tourists will be allowed back October 20th. Or first or something.

Downtown After

Simonton Beach, a sailboat dragged up and part of another. In the background you can see boats on the beach at Sunset Key. Piss off the rich people with any luck.

The parking lot is a trash dump. Too much garbage too little time...

 Check it out:

 A food delivery. Nothing is open yet. Nothing.

 It's in the water too.

 Airing out Alonzo's which lost its A in the sign above.

 The marinas around Key West are looking pretty good on the whole, the boats that stayed seemed to have mostly done okay.

 The Galleon is still there:

 The bg tourist bars are buttoned up tight. No food or drink for locals, no jobs no nothing and these places make a fortune milking Key West:

 The tree ate Willie T's, the most damage of any on Duval and it doesn't appear fatal.

Overall not much structural damage in Old Town . 

Big Pine Key Post Irma

Work has begun 

So much work to do 

Sand Everywhere

More from Higgs Beach. This time the main beach. Salute seems to be okay taking deliveries and all:

Reynolds at Atlantic is closed: 

The Garden Club looks trashed though the Martello tower seems fine. 

Higgs And Rest Beaches And Irma

With the post hurricane limited bandwidth I can only post a few pictures at a time in the middle of the night so bear with me. At least I have this after days of being completely cut off. 

Irma And Smathers Beach

I went by the south side of Key West yesterday and saw the smelly chaos of seaweed thrown onto land to decompose. It too will be cleared even more thoroughly than it has been so far
