Hurricane Ivan was First--2004 |
||
 Everything was beautifully serene the day before Hurricane Ivan hit Gulf Shores head on. This photos represents one last look before evacuation. |
 A week later, standing in the same spot, we weren't sure what we would find. It was obvious though that the house was standing and the roof was intact. |
 It was difficult to walk amongst the wood boards with protruding nails that had once been the homes across the Lagoon. |

| While we only had electrical and some minor exterior plumbing to repair, many homes across from us had broken apart and their components had become battering-rams against our strong DAC-ART walls. The high water mark showed that the waters of the Gulf came midway up our windows, but we only took in about one half inch of water. | ||

Followed by Hurricane Katrina--2005 |

 When most of the storm had passed, and it was safe enough to come take photos, the shallow Little Lagoon looked like the Gulf and once again the swimming pool next door was engulfed. |

Villa Lagoon Phase I has survived these two major storms and many less publicized ones. This unique building system is obviously the best choice for waterfront coastal construction . |
