I hope y'all finally got some rain! We've had more than our share here. Our power went out at 1:00 a.m. this morning and the cable lines were out because a tree fell on some main relay box down the road. Luckily power wasn't out for very long and they finally got the cable back up this evening ... it sure was hard being off- line all day!! This area looked like a tropical storm came through and weather folks said they couldn't believe the National Weather service didn't label the system as a tropical storm with the winds as high as they were ... trees were down everywhere, just about every yard in town has a 3' to 4' pile of branches/limbs etc. to be picked up!
We had many palm fronds down all over the yard, a very large branch from a cherry laurel tree ... and my white Oleander tree blew over and was uprooted. My husband pulled the tree back upright with his truck and staked it so hopefully it will survive.
