The Devistations of Hurricane Gustav

Thought you all might enjoy this inspiring story...

Hurricane Gustav that hit New Orleans left some serious devastation in its path as it tore through the Gulf Coast and slammed into Louisiana early last week.

While the nation was grateful that the levees held this time around and that the devastating flooding that occurred last year did not repeat again this year, there were still many families hurt by the tragedy.

Out of that tragedy however came this remarkable story of perseverance...

The Oneal family returned home Monday to find that Gustav had turned their house upside down, and repositioned it a few hundred feet from it's original foundation, but otherwise had left it pretty much intact.

They were even still able to enter house through the upstairs doorway that led from the loft to an upstairs balcony. Most of the furniture was still inside and all of the fixtures were still in place and unharmed.

The Oneal family plans to continue living in the home for as long as they can or until authorities force them to leave.

No... that is not true... I'm lying.

Actually this is a full sized house that was built upside down over in Germany... why? Just because it hadn't been done before I guess. Pretty crazy though.

Everything inside this home is upside down too... fixtures... furniture... appliances... lights... everything.

Take a look at these additional pictures pretty ridiculous.

Anyway, thought I'd have a little fun with it.



Here is the link to the original story.
