Surveying The Aftermath.....

So once the sun came out and the wind died down, decided to see what was left standing.

 

A few tree branches down.

That's to be expected.

But the TV anchors said we got the highest winds in SW Florida, with gusts up to 85 mph.


But This Is An Outrage

 These leafy things should be cleaned up by now!

Guess Mother Nature is making an editorial comment about which papers she likes.


The Sea Was Angry That Day My Friend

Apparently we got hit with a meteotsunami.

A meteotsunami is a tsunami, not caused by earthquakes, but by extreme low pressures and high winds.

Who knew.

I guess these two sailboats knew.

[Post Script;  a pic of these boats also make the local paper today.]

And this one.

And this one.

And there's always one lunatic around, kite boarding.

You can see him, just about ten feet out of the water here.

Mother Nature also took a bite out of the beach.

Hard to get too upset when it's in front of a 0.01% 'ers home.

Here it took part of the roof off a building.

Okay, this is a building under renovation - I'm cheating.

This is soon to be a building under renovation - our next door neighbours.

They actually did lose part of their roof.

So no major catastrophes. [Here anyway.  Two people were killed when a tornado did touch down further north.]

Just a lot of good stories exchanged with every stranger you meet on the street.....
