Cool the eye wall just went over us and so far so good. I lost some
screen panels but the cage is OK. The trees took a beating tho. One
fichus tree needed killing and I did not want to pay $500 for a hort
dumpster so I guess Lee County will haul it away for free if I can
drag it out to the curb. Now I am waiting to see how the surge works
out. Broke out the single barrel bourbon about the time the eye wall
came in.
Harry will be happy that the tiki bars are OK.
I have pix and video but I will need to get power to the router to see
if my DSL is up. It has not been by first priority
I am still happy I have a landline tho. Dial up Greg out

Great news, any roof problems?


Nope, my compliments to Robert Weinmeister Roofing. My 16 year old
roof did not lose a shingle.
Screen cage not so much. I lost 5 screen panels but no structural
issues. My solar collectors took a ride but they were bad anyway. I
was planning on replacing them before winter. Trees really took a
beating. That is a good news bad news joke. The coconut that was here
when I moved here broke and fell
The one on the left. The one on the middle has a meal lean to it but I
think it will be OK

Unfortunately it landed on the one on the right.
I won't know how bad it is until I get it all cleared out.
We have a few days of chain saw work coming. That big fichus is not so
big anymore I think I may have another 50 cu/yard haul away when Lee
County comes around. I hope they do the trailer and claw truck thing
so I don't need to cut it up smaller than I can drag with the truck. I
have been wanting that gone anyway and I bet before it is over there
won't have been any of it spared by the storm ;-)
I also lost a few big limbs from the sea grape and the bamboo is
everywhere. It may take a day or two just to figure out what all is
gone.
