After the Hurricane

We lived here august 1977 to Feb 1980. Belle Fontaine, Alabama
This pic was taken after most of the surrounding trees were destroyed in a
hurricane. We did not stay in this house during the storm. I'm glad!
This was a summer cottage that belonged to some people from Michigan.
They would come down to Mobile, Alabama once in a while for summer vacation.
There was actually a nicer, larger house on the property, too. Anyway, the house wasn't
in that good of shape and we got to live in it for a year just for making repairs...later they
charged us $50. a month for rent. But after the storm, we tried living here a little longer
eventually had to move though because the roof leaked quite a bit after the trees
were removed from the roof. the owner tore it down sometime later. I think I have
another pic of this before the storm but they other pics are in storage...I might add another
later.
