Default She survived

The roof didn't survive but the structure of the house did. Most of the trees survived, and the Corvette and the carport where the Corvette lives did not suffer ANY damage. Even the boats survived as they were all pulled to the house.

So Rita, Good Bye, good luck and but please don't come back.

Default Thanks to everyone

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. We cleaned all morning and we have been given tomorrow off to continue the cleanup. We are lucky and proud of it. As of 9:00 P. M. tonight, we even have electricty.

One thing I forgot to tell. At one point I was watching this huge pine tree. It was leaning so far over, and right over the carport and Vette, that I was thinking about what color my next Vette would be. (because it was obvious the current one was not going to survive.)

First: Glad to see everyone is safe.

Second: Glad the Vette made it through unscathed. It's a Great White, so a little water never hurts them, anyways.

Finally: I hope the damages to the roof aren't too timely or costly to repair without setting you back too much.
