I find the photo above on hurricane Ike's aftermath from National Geographic amazing. Looks like* all houses around it were obliterated, while this one survived pretty much unscathed. Someone on TV the other day quipped "I am going to have my house constructed by the contractor who built it!"
A pump jack--a device that mechanically extracts liquid from oil deposits--sits among flood waters shimmering with oil in High Island, Texas, in an aerial photo taken on September 14, 2008.
An alligator crossing the road in Sabine Pass. Why did alligator cross the road?!
*It is hard to tell from this picture alone, if all the houses around were destroyed, as we have view of only one side of the house. May be all the houses next to it that were not in the view were saved, and this happened to be at the boundary of a group of house that survived.
