1. Yikes.

2. That photo looks surreal, like the magical forest in a scene from a scary fairy tale.

Not to minimize the destruction, but it's beautiful in a post-apocalyptic sort of way. I can almost see the mischievous hobgoblins hiding behind that bush... and any minute a unicorn will come prancing into view.

Its a great image that can spur my imagination! Kudos to the photographer.

4. It IS beautiful.

Oh, those poor trees!

I feel so bad for the people who have to clean up their homes and businesses after that.

5. It's a magic path, but with traffic signs. Great photo. nt

11. My first thought was "beautiful", too

It took me a second to realize what I was seeing.

6. That's Magnolia Avenue, a beautiful street.

As a kid our family stayed at a hotel that backed up to Magnolia. The kitschy Fountain of Youth attraction is right off it.

St. Augustine has to be one of my all time favorite cities. It's a beautiful town. Hopefully things will return to normal soon.

8. I hope Barnacle Bill's did okay.

9. Been there many times

Great place to visit. I'm looking forward to going back after the recovery.

7. that's a lot of stop signs

in a short length of street. Do they have speed bumps between them?

Only been to St. Augustine one time on a weekend vacation from the west side of the state.

It is a very nice place.

10. In a few more decades nature will reclaim...

all of the low-lying parts of the world's coastlines.
