Popular Post Tom King Posted August 4, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 We took a direct hit, but got Very lucky. Our place is the highest hill around, and surrounded on three sides by water that any wind has a long fetch across. When it blows from those directions, the wind speed gets increased as it gets pushed up the terrain rise. Last night, the storm passed just to the East of us, so the wind was out of the North. That's the one direction we have protection from. We lost some trees in the stand of timber to the North of the house, but none to amount to anything. We don't even have limbs to pick up in the yard. The point has been waiting for water, since I got finished planting grass. It's had a few small rains, but not enough to let it do much more than sprout. One good thing about Bermuda, it will wait for the water. The point is looking greener than it ever has. We had not quite 4 inches. There was some washing, but not really much. Our electricity never blinked. Internet was out for a while, but is back now. Conditions were pretty sporty at 5 A.M., but nothing like Fran, Floyd, and Isabel. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick S Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Glad to hear you're okay, but so, so sorry to hear about your internet being down for a while. <<<SARCASM!! Mine goes out if it's cloudy, or Thursday, or a prairie dog pops its head up. Just north of you was not so lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 East of us too. It was more of a storm than most expected. We were awfully lucky. There was a lot of damage in the surrounding areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Yesterday was a crazy one here in Delaware. A tornado blew through my hometown, not catastrophic damage but significant damage nonetheless. I have a number of patients that had trees fall on their homes, roads are closed everywhere and if you have electricity you are fortunate. My office and house are 5 miles apart, the path of the tornado basically went right between them. Fortunately no damage at the office and just some limbs down at home. Alot of potential lumber and firewood laying on the ground all around here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
