update from Estero
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 |

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 http://gfretwell.com/ftp/my%20palm%202016.jpg 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. |

I was watching some of the nuts on the Weather Channel standing in the eyewall and then the eye as it passed over Naples and was thinking about how you would fare as it moved a bit more north. It veered more easterly as it left Naples which may have spared you from the worst of the strong, upper right side quadrant. We got around 11 o'clock (position) on the eye if 0000 was the direction of travel. Still pretty exciting. I was running a video camera as the eye went over but I have not processed it yet. I am on the generator now but I am just running off cords. I want to wait until the storm is gone to connect it to the house hookup because that is exposed. I am hoping FPL will get me going pretty soon tho. This generator is thirsty. Glad you made it without any major damage to your house. Wilma was my first experience going through the eye wall and then part of the eye. Your're right. It gets exciting, especially when you are in a stick house. The one we had in Jupiter was built post Andrew though and was built to 150 mph wind codes. Only damage was a few concrete roof shingles that time. It was much worse during one of the earlier hurricanes (Charlie or Francis - can't remember which one) because the doors blew open and the interior got soaked. We weren't there for that one but fortunately our neighbors got a contractor to come in immediately. He ripped up all the upstairs carpeting, cut out any wet sheetrock and got the place dried out in a hurry. Never had to deal with mold, etc. |

Was his reporting less because he did not stand in a wind tunnel? Reporters are driven to bring the news to the public, whether that means standing out in a storm, going to a war zone, or covering a Trump rally. Brainless old farts like you climb up on roofs and fall off. Brainless old fart describes you. I'm smart enough to NOT fall off a roof. Too lazy to do any work, is more like it. |

It's funny watching the CNN folks talking about how dangerous it is while standing in the middle of a street, or walking through water and then telling folks not to do it because of nails in boards, etc. Pure dumb. Must have taken lessons from Geraldo, who I believe had someone holding a fan next to his head any time he was on the air. |
