Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Hurricane Ike damage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A lone house standing amongst the numerous sites of houses that were destroyed in Gilchrist, Texas by Hurricane Ike. On September 13, 2008, Gilchrist was devastated by the storm, which completely destroyed all but few homes. The coastline along Gilchrist, once a straight line, became jagged and desolate, permanently altered by Ike's turbulent storm tide. Of the 1,000 buildings in Gilchrist, 99.5% of them were knocked off of their foundations.
Reason
Aside from the obvious encyclopedic value, in my opinion the image is interesting and high-quality.
