See you on the other side... ;)

Do please report back in soonest so we know you are OK.

Thinking of you - and wishing I could be of some help ... instead .. horrible impotence.

The trees are swaying the rain is falling. Gusts to 53 mph so far -- here comes the worst. This shouldn't cause any structural damage unless a tree falls on the house. Power outgage is defintely possible.

All in all -- nothing at all like what Fly went through...

Post by: DDGator on September 26, 2004, 04:55:58 PM: Looks like the worst is probably past me. My power flickered and went on and off a bit. We are luck to have undergrond power lines that are no so vulnerable to trees and wind and such.

Another neighbor's oak tree went down, but caused minor damage. Another huge mess though...

We were lucky again.
