damage from Friday's storm

15 years ago

Newscaster said we had 60 mph winds. My screen is ripped up and lots of things blown over and messy. I lost a few carambolas I had planned on eating and the final mangos are now down. My fil in Fort Myers had 2 very large trees shredded. One was a beautiful jacaranda tree with a trunk larger around then me. No one else I know has damage, tell me its not just us. LOL

I'm SO sorry to hear that you and your FIL had some damages from a storm...I can honestly say we haven't had any rain for over 2 weeks now. I don't want the high winds...but it sure would be nice to get some rain soon.

Sorry about the screen damages and the loss of some beautiful trees/fruits.

Robin, I am so sorry to hear about your damage. We had just a light mist here in Port Charlotte. Isn't it strange how it can be so bad in one place and some locations get no rain at all.

I think the storm just was attracted to my family. I have yet to find anyone else who had damage. When I went to work they laughed and said what storm till I showed them the pictures.
