I got this link on a technical e-mail list where several of the members are located in the Houston area where hurricane Ike went through recently. These are before & after aerial photographs of the Bolivar Peninsula area of Texas. Pretty dramatic although not as bad as the before & after photos of the big typhoon a few years ago (I think that one was in the Indian Ocean).
