A cottage belonging to the Ellison family teeters over a canal, alongside the remnants of the family's destroyed business, Ed's Baithouse and Marina, in Horseshoe Beach, Fla., Thursday, Aug. 31, one day after the passage of Hurricane Idalia. Buddy Ellison said five generations of his family have lived on this property, and while their stilted home remains, rebuilding the business and cottage on stilts as required would be cost prohibitive.7/16

A storm tattered American flag lies wrapped around its downed pole in the front yard of Herman Neely, a retired corrections officer known by the nickname "Pork Chop," after storm surge from Hurricane Idalia shifted Neely's home from its blocks and punched holes through the inside walls, in Horseshoe Beach, Fla., Thursday, Aug. 31, one day after the storm's passage. Neely, 78, said he initially decided to ride out the storm in his house, but when water reached his truck bumper around first light, he drove out of town, picking his way through flooding and past floating debris. Now, he says, the three bedroom home built for his parents and their eight children in 1962, will have to be demolished and he'll only be able to afford to live in a camper on the property, due to rules requiring new homes to be built on stilts.12/16
