Damage from Ida

16 years ago

I guess we got off lucky. We lost one white oak tree that blew down last night. It took my best compost pile with it but I might be able to salvage some of it. At least it fell away from the house, not towards it. That would have been another story entirely!

Hope everybody made it through ok. Nasty weather for this time of year!

Hi Sandy. I have a friend in Norfolk and apparently the storm was 10X worse there than here. We got some rain and strong winds but nothing like she got.
Oh, and lost a few pieces of siding from the side of the house but that's ok. It could have been so much worse.
