Home Destroyed by Hurricane Ike Still Faces Foreclosure

Even those that continue to make payments on a house that no longer exists aren't immune to foreclosure.

Brad Gana, of Seabrook, Texas, is being threatened with foreclosure over a home that hasn't existed since it was destroyed by Hurricane Ike in 2008, local Houston 2 News reports. Furthermore, after the hurricane, which cost the Texas shoreline an estimated $11 billion in damages, reduced the property to an empty slab of concrete, Gana alleges he continued to make payments.

In the meantime, Bank of America, the mortgage lender, took out a forced homeowner's policy on the property and raised monthly payments. Gana, however, says he was never notified of the change since his mailbox was destroyed by what's come to be known as the third-most-destructive hurricane ever to hit the United States.
