How Long Will It Take to Rebuild the Sandy-Impacted Areas? Who will Remain?

12 News KBMT and K-JAC. News, Weather and Sports for SE Texas

Following Hurricane Ike, many towns in Southeastern Texas were destroyed or significantly damaged, in ways similar to Sandy-impacted areas in Somerset County. Inhabitants that had been in these beach communities for generations no longer could afford to rebuild under the economic burdens of new federal and state guidelines. The homes that were rebuilt cost hundreds of thousands of dollars more than the homes that were there before.

Five years later, towns are beginning to re-emerge in Southeastern Texas, but with different demographics and new cultures. The attached story and video hint at what is emerging in Southeastern Texas, but say nothing about who was displaced, where they are, and how they are doing today.
