On September 24, 2005 Sabine Woods was in the direct path of Hurricane Rita. These pictures were taken on October 2 or 3, 2005. The show almost total defoliation. No one from TOS has been able to get into Sabine Pass as of yet (entry is still restricted to residents at this time) for an on the ground assessment, but second had reports indicate that the boardwalks were no damaged and none of the large oaks were lost.
