Hurricane History....

Now here's a bit of Hurricane History... not everyone wants to forget and put the past behind them. While most scenes of destruction disappear over time... some are preserved as a memory to the past, as well as a testament to the imagination of those wanting to not only preserve but also render it once again functional. Here's majestic historical picturesque building, that after perhaps many decades of service, was toppled during a hurricane. Several unique factors were involved to create a quite unusual situation. The building was so well constructed that it remained entirely intact as it toppled, or as the onlookers claimed, just ever so slowly gently rolled over into the adjacent building. Both buildings sustained very little damage. To the surprise of many, engineers found that the buildings could easier and less expensively be altered and rendered useful once again and much cheaper than the removal and reconstruction of two new buildings. Since finances were the greater issue, the project was approved and you can see the results for yourself. Simply amazing! Believe It or Not!
