Added 2024-10-11 18:52:05 +0000 UTCThings went well during the hurricane. I stayed home. Winds were about 80 to 100 mph for 4 or 5 hours, then it died down into the 50 to 60 mph range for the first half of yesterday here on the beach, but the rain wasn’t near as much as they forecasted. We got about half of what they said. Still, a reasonably easy storm to get through as far as hurricanes go. It's not even close to being in the top 3 bad storms I have ridden out. Again, lots of wind, some water, and a whole lot of shit flying around outside but all of that is pretty normal. My porch lifted off the foundation and rearranged itself. It’s fixable and still basically in one piece. Here are a few pics of what it still looks like around my house two days later. The orange/pink home is not mine; it's my neighbor behind me...but they got about 3 feet of water inside their house, so they really got the brunt of it. Water is the worst...wind is not so bad. Just remember what you see will all be cleared up and like it never happened in less than a week, so, in the big picture, just another day that life throws at us. You either figure it out and get it done…or you don’t…I like to get it done.
