Local pilot, Scott Poss, has prepared a slide show that depicts home, boathouse, dock, and seawall construction and repair on lake Burton. Most of these photographs were taken on January 19, 2012, but, for comparison, Scott has interspersed a number of photos taken two days after the April 27, 2011 tornado.  Follow this link:  Construction & Repair Slide Show
