Most of our documentation will be about biological and geologic time, but humans have made much of time in the 4.5 years since I was last here. This nature center is new, as are many of the homes we drove by on the access road to get out here. When I visited in August of 2003, it was only about 6 weeks after Hurricane Claudette caused widespread flooding (and two small tornadoes!) in the area. On the access road about 1 house in 4 was gone, replaced with house-sized piles of demolition debris. The hurricane didn't really blow them down, but it did cause sufficient damage to many structures make demolition and rebuilding reasonable. Now there were whole new rows of condos, and more vacation rental signs.
