To help give some scale, the thing I've circled in blue is a bird bath. It is a concrete bird bath and it stands about 4 feet tall. The brown thing laying in the bath is a strip of bark that fell off and landed in it during the storm, probably when the branches broke off. The bird bath is located only a couple of feet from the branches - they just missed it, but they managed to take out a birdhouse on their way down.

that was some storm you had up there. I would have been joining Cody flat on the floor, and wondering if it was safe to swallow another happy pill, along with a keg of beer !!Well truth be told it probably would have been the vat of beer that had me flat on the floor !! The summer lightning storms here have pretty much the same effect. Emma and I sit with all the curtains closed playing cards.
I hope you find the damage is minimal and the insurance don't find some small print to worm their way out of paying !!! I have just discovered that due to some changes in the IRS here, my BRITISH pension cannot be transferred in the way I was hoping. One can and the other two can't, then to add bloody insult to injury, the one which can transfer, may well be taxable.
YOU WHAT !!!!!! I paid taxes on it in England, why the beep, beep would I pay taxed for bringing it over here.
So you will not make me a citizen, I can't vote, I quite rightly pay taxes on earned income here, but you then want a cut of my British pension. There are not enough drugs in the world to calm me down at the moment.
In fact if some low form of amoebic life, ie insurance man, tries to argue out of paying, send him in my direction. I will let out a torrent of abuse hitherto unheard of,and what's more I will do it in English, French and Japanese, oh not forgetting Indian, Urdu dialect!!!!!
Me mad, nah, calm as a millpond on a windless day. ;D

Oh Poor Fiona!! :'( :-*
It sounds like both of us are having problems, but my little "storm" problem pales in comparison to what you are going through down there in Florida. :(
I hope things get better for you real quick honey! I keep my fingers crossed and continue to send you positive energy and good thoughts your way. :-*

If you think it looks scary in those pictures, you should have been here when it happened! :laugh:
I've called the insurance company and I've had three estimators out here. Some of the shingles were ripped off Dad's roof due to the wind. I'm trying to talk the insurance company into reshingling his roof. And I've hired a company to come out and cut up those trees, but they can't get here until the middle of next week. There is alot more of this all around town. :(
