The bright side is no gators got washed into the pool.
Was that Hail or just wind that did that?
What a mess! Did you get a lot of flooding? All the cars OK???
There was flooding in some areas. I'm six blocks from the ocean, but am 18 feet above sea level..one of the highest on the island. So no flooding near my house.
I've got some oceanfont condos and one of my tenants called and said he thinks he mopped up about a 1000lbs of water. Another tenant at a house said there was a leak in the downstairs bathroom. Wind driven rain finds leaks.
I built a new office 4 years ago 3 blocks fom the ocean. All up to current hurricane codes.
ServPro will be there tomorrow. To the tune of $3k.
Screw It..Lets Party!!
Damn don't tell my wife you are 6 blks from the Ocean or you will have a few new house guests for vacation
I'll take some excessive rain every few years over snow any day...
My wife is from Iowa and just yesterday we were comparing rain vs snow.
I've been in both and think that wind driven rain is worse cuz of the damage it does to the inside of your home and business. Winter storms are more brutal for day in day out living tho. IMO.
People in other states may not recognize that it doesn't take a flood to do damage.
That was the whole purpose of the thread to show outside and inside damage from a tropical storm that didn't flood my area.
