Before and After Photo Pairs (USGS) For each
pair, the upper photo was taken on July 17, 2001
and the lower photo was taken on September 17
after Ivans landfall. http//coastal.er.usgs.go
v/hurricanes/ivan/photos/index.html
19
Collapsed five-story building, Romar Beach,
ALThe lower two floors of the five-story
building in the center of these photos have
collapsed and the third floor has fallen to
ground level. Erosion in front of the buildings
undermined pools and walkways, and perhaps the
buildings themselves (although the failure mode
must await analysis by structural engineers.)
Note the sandy overwash deposits that were driven
landward between the buildings by storm waves and
currents.
20
Collapsed front of multistory building, Orange
Beach, ALThis five-story building was perched
on top of a dune that was eroded during Hurricane
Ivan. The Gulf-front portion of the building
collapsed. Compare the pilings in the pre and
post-photos of the house adjacent to the
multi-story structure to determine the scale of
vertical erosion of the dune. In the post-storm
photo, the lower, unpainted portions of the
pilings were below sand level prior to Hurricane
Ivan.
21
Destroyed houses on top of a dune, Orange Beach,
ALThese houses were built on top of a dune that
was severely eroded during Ivan. Note the
walkways in the pre-storm photo that once served
as pathways down to the beach.
22
Breach through barrier island, Pine Beach,
ALThe island was severed by a breach that may
have developed as the back bay drained excess
water following the peak of the storm surge,
although the breach could have been initiated by
waves and surge from the Gulf side. More analyses
are required to determine the forcing processes.
23
Overwash across barrier island, Gulf Shores,
ALIn places, the barrier islands are narrow.
Currents and waves transported sand from
Gulffront beaches across the island and into the
back bay.

And we thought it was all over with Ivan!!!
Ivans return!
Then Jeanne??
Then Karl??
Then Lisa??
But look what Mother Nature has in store!!!

Watch out Florida!!!

We dodged a bullet, but Florida got it again!
