The land hurricane ripped up my carport that measured about 12ft by 20ft and turned it over like a picnic table. It needed to come down anyway, it had passed it's prime, so it was a blessing in disguise. Fortunately, it didn't do any other damage except to the side fence which also needed to go as well. I just have to drag off the disassembled carcass. The power was out for 24hrs as well. When I got home from work all I could do was go to bed and read my book by flashlight. I couldn't even charge up my phone and it only had 5% left. The next morning I boiled some water on the stove and had instant coffee. I guess I'm lucky my house is heated by gas and neither the floor furnace or wall furnace need electricity to operate. It came back on about half an hour before I went to work. Last month my Catalpa tree fell over, this month I had this disaster, I don't want to join the disaster of the month club. So glad it's my weekend.

Good morning! Sorry about the carport and fence, Veg ... but really sorry about the catalpa. One of my favorite trees! I'm glad you stayed safe during all of that mess. Watching the videos of the 18 wheelers being blown over was amazing - and then the train wreck over by Logan. Thank God no one was hurt in that - it could have been so much worse. We had the high winds here but also snow - a good ol' fashioned blizzard. I was so glad I didn't have to get out for any reason! Today is just beautiful ..a slight breeze, bright blue skies with a few clouds, bright sunshine ....I just hope it warms up enough for me to go outside. Would love to just sit on my porch swing for awhile. Getting cabin fever!! Have a terrific day!
