@Operational needs ? Storm update?

All is good. I went past my place and other than a window covering being bent, no damage. I even have power! Lots of damage and debris all around me tho. I think my neighbor’s place might be a total loss. My sister’s place is fine but no power. I’m going to go back to her place to stay. Thanks for asking.

I’ve been driving around town for awhile. Governor said 75% of power is out in this county and 82% out in county where I stayed last nite. I want to check my sister’s beach rental on Siesta Key but I’m thinking they’re probably not allowing anyone out there yet.

This is the only thing open that I’ve seen so far other than a coffee shop. This man is getting ready to make some money. Hope he has a lot of ingredients!

I’d rather go hungry and have your empanada……

When my sister lost power in Helene she had to go to the next town to find a place selling food that was open.

Good to hear!

@Operational needs glad you're doing ok

 

[Covemastah]

I hope not.

Me & @MyTripisCut are going there during February vacation.

You two tinkerbells enjoy it

Must’ve been lunch time for the National Guard guys.

The guy next door to my sister had a massive live oak tree in his front yard. It was such a beautiful tree. Maybe 100-150 years old. This is what I saw when I drove down the street earlier. So sad. The city already sent out a 10 man crew who cut up the part blocking the road.

I glad to hear you caught a bit of good luck. You've been dealing with a lot because of this crazy weather.

Now I understand why @Turdferguson has those stubby thumbs and patchy mustache.

I wonder if the tree was that old? How old is that development? A tree like that can grow big in 30 years down there.

The neighborhood is from the 1950’s I think but the tree was probably there before.

I’m really not a fan of Wendy’s but if it’s the only place in town selling hot food I’ll take it! Lol.

They would typically clear the land and plant trees later. If there is a lake in the community, that was dug and the sand used to raise up the land.

No lake. They’re very protective of the large trees here. Especially the live oaks. You’re not allowed to cut down a tree over a certain diameter. Not sure about back then though.
