We were without power from 10am till 2:45am.
Spent most of yesterday cutting a hickory nut tree out of Daddy's garage.
A couple of weeks ago we removed a birch and pine he was worried about. Didn't think the hickory was a problem, didn't think about the wind from that direction.

He recently changed insurance and is not sure if the work shop was covered or not.
Oh well, we built it, we can fix it.

Oh, back to the original subject.
I picked a great time to be taking antibiotics

You guys near New Jersey and New York pay attention to this storm.
It is scheduled to be back to a hurricane Tuesday, very close to you.

Yep... watching it like a hawk. We have some warnings up already for the southern part of the state. Too soon to tell if it's going to effect the northern part with much of anything. Time will tell...

We lost 3 trees (water oaks) and the yard was covered in tree debris. The asphalt easement road to our place was covered in green so thick that you couldn't see there was pavement under it. Still cleaning up. We were fortunate that our house was undamaged.

Total non-event for Northern New Jersey. Not a drop of rain. I think the Eastern tip of Long Island got a little rain, but it went out to sea before it reached us and we were spared any inconvenience. (But the ocean is running 7-10' waves and impossible for our boats to go out). Will need a few days for it to settle before that's possible. Oh well, time to dig out the metal detectors and go hunting along the freshly upturned beaches. (Best time to hunt is after a storm).

Yeah Pipe, most of the downed trees around here have been water oaks too. They will look healthy, but be rotted out inside and break off at the ground. Really they're almost worse than having pine trees.

We were out of power a little over 40 hours. Crews still fixing lines. Huge piles of debris along the roads on the backside (south and eastern sides) of Wilmington Island.

Tsubaki good luck with y'alls insurance people.

Thanks bradford, the agent came by and accessed it today.
After the deductible, the check won't cover the materials cost.

Daddy said "well, I ain't had a good ****ing in awhile, guess I was overdue".
