photos - various - part 5

This man is guarding the rubble of the collapsed Providence guest house which is in our neighborhood. It is amazing but the 1st floor is perfectly intact and we climbed down into the 1st floor to see for ourselves.

On our street this apartment building has "Demolir" in red painted on it. This tells people and the owner that the building is condemned and will need to be demolished.

People are busy removing this house in our neighborhood. It used to be a 2 story home.


Demolition has begun on this 2 story home as well which is also in our neighborhood. 5 people died inside.

While the house was being knocked down further with sledgehammers the roof moved and almost took down the neighbors house. The neighbor raced outside and told them to stop before his house came down. The support column was smashed. It will be difficult to repair this house. He has steel support bars to hold the house together.
