From tragedy, an amazing work of photojournalism.
Billy Stinson is a Greenville resident. That was his beach house before Irene swept it away. This full caption, complete with heartbreaking quote:
Billy Stinson, from left, comforts his wife Sandra Stinson and daughter Erin Stinson as they sit on the steps where their cottage once stood before it was destroyed by Hurricane Irene on Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011, in Nags Head, N.C. The cottage, built in 1903, was one of the first vacation cottages built on Albemarle Sound in Nags Head. Stinson has owned the home, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, since 1963. “We were pretending, just for a moment, that the cottage was still behind us and we were just sitting there watching the sunset,” said Erin.
