Name: greene Savannah, GA (Sunset 28) (Zone 8b) I have no use for internet bullies!
Hello everyone!!! Water, power and now internet, too!!!
I had emptied my plastic zippy greenhouse so no damage; just a mess to clean.
The "Popcorn" tree got damaged, about 2/3 is gone. I cut up what I could with my little bow saw and will ask my neighbor (the tree guy) to clean up the broken trunk.
My next door neighbor was not so lucky. Two trees - one uprooted and one snapped fell on his gray house and on his red truck.
Drove to check on my daughter's mobile home. On the way I saw lots of damage. Keller's Flea Market lost a roof. Traffic lights were blowing sideways; signed listing in the wind.
Jackie's Seafood Market lost a roof.
Had to detour around roads blocked by trees and downed power lines. Near my house a tree came down just missing the truck which had to veer into the ditch.
Tree and wires down blocking Tibet Ave near Largo-Tibet Elementary school. And a bit further up the road trees and downed power lines blocked the road; it took 3 days to fix that mess.
White Bluff Road blocked by trees and wires. A "smart" driver tried to drive through the street while it was flooded - his car shorted out and caught fire!
Convenience store gas pumps were smashed when roof collapsed. Traffic lights not working because they flew off in the high wind and are smashed on the ground and road.
Road to my DDs place blocked by fallen tree. It fell on a red car. The family had evacuated so no one was hurt.
My dog Jack was confused by the mess and all the new smells. But my friend Donald (he's the one who purchased my old mobile home) reassured the dogs.
My old neighbor's suffered some damage. A tree just missed Isidro's home.
My plant friend Phyllis lost her vine-covered carport, the place we like to sit and chat when the weather is good.
But the worst was Joey's home. He had sent his wife and children away to safety and it's a good thing. A HUGE pine tree just about cut his mobile home in half. Several neighbors helped and the tree is now out of the house and the roof has been boarded and tarped.
But all in all it wasn't too bad. I had my DDs class pet, a Guinea pig, inside my house to keep my dogs amused. I even brought the rabbits inside but they were camera shy so no pics.
And a great big THANK YOU!!!! to gingin who kept in touch with me via texts through this whole mess.
:thankyou:
