As Ike barreled through Houston, it hit Surfside Beach pretty hard and carried many houses into the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately the main house for the wedding, the Seven Views, was completely destroyed. At least half of this house was carried into the water and the remainder were left scattered across the beach. The Surfside Beach website (www.surfsidetx.org) was excellent about updating the website with photos of the damage. Below you can see the original wedding spot:
The collapsed house in between the triangle house and the blue house is, or was, the Seven Views house. The brown house to the right is the duplex, which appears to have minimal damage from this view.
Also - this link shows an aerial view of this area. The first few seconds show the collapsed Seven Views House. As you can see, not many houses around this area made it through.
