Glad that we missed the bad of it, but it has rained and rained some more. Plus the wind! My oh my, at least we were ready.

No damage here, either. A treillis did get loosened up but it is still standing. It will only need to be reinforced. We got gusts of wind, rain falling horizontally and a very intense lightning and thunder show throughout the last 48 hours, but it's all over this morning. It's almost unbelievable how much weather we got since we consider we weren't in the "error cone" and how far the system itself was. Those outer bands carry an awful lot of power.

Take care, all.
Sylvain.

Oh, that @90 plant is plain red, not double or fragrant or anything spcial.

Isaac is a huge system, it covered the entire Caribbean sea. Today is the first sunny day we've had.
