Day 12 after Hurricane Wilma, egrets on the lawn, nice sea breeze, its about 80° F.
Our church building stood fine, most of our damage was to the trees. Five days ago the lawn was full of trees, and branches and little pieces of roofing from somebodies home blown miles to land on our lawn. Eight trees were pulled up by their roots.
Six men from the congregation came and hauled the branches away, pulled the trees up by ropes being pulled by a car, built braces to support the uprooted now replanted trees and the lawn looks almost perfect. The winter flowers will need to be planted.
Hurricane Season is over in three weeks. For us, the hurricane thing has gotten old. Florida is wonderful from November through April. Then it becomes hot and stormy in May, that lasts through October.
It is paradise for a season.
