The plastic cover on the greenhouse is torn up, after this deluge is over I can go out and see how bad it is. I think mostly because it went over the chainlink fence. The frame needs tightening up (it's aluminum with bolts and wing nut screws) but otherwise I think it is ok. Right now it's leaned up against the back of the house, hoping it doesn't try to take off again. The plants are all over my back porch right now, but I think they faired ok. A lot of repotting will be in order.

Funny thing is, I had another greenhouse similar to this one when I lived in Bryan. Had it up for 5 years, secured the same way, and even through the remnants of two hurricanes it didn't blow over. Going to have to do some thinking on this one before trying to put anything back up.

As for the water...it's not as bad as up by my parents. They are having trouble getting anywhere, water all over the roads and bridges , and the pastures around them look like lakes right now. Piddly compared to what I have here, although the holes left after we pulled those nandinas are full of water at the moment.
