Clermont Harbor update
We now have aerial photos of Clermont Harbor, home to Robyn's grandparents. The house is gone, but the railroad embankment to the north seems to have kept the debris contained. The deforestation and the annihilation of mostly cinderblock houses leaves me somewhat speechless.
Before
Google Maps
After
NOAA NOS Data Explorer
Eerily there is less visible damage closer to the beach (not pictured here) because all that remains are the concrete pads of the houses.
It will be months before we get back here to sift through the rubble.

Thank you for your comments on Clermont Harbor. I lived there on Ioor next to the White Church. I am a real estate agent and currently living in New Orleans. My mother lost her home in Waveland.
I hope your wife'e grandparents are ok. I go back ever Tuesday looking for things and attending our weekly staff meetings. You grandsparents might know me from the Civic organization that used to meet at the firehouse.
Please tell them we are sorry, we miss our place so much and I am sure they do to. If they need anything help please let me know.
