We had an intense and thankfully shortlived deluge that was accompanied with extremely strong winds just blow through here. Could hardly see the road and the trees were bending. Talking big maples and locusts - WHEW glad that stopped know there is going to be a mess from some being uprooted but, don't see any in our immediate area.

Chuck, the Harleys are safe and dry, our house is well above the lake. However, the road out front looks like a creek, might end up having to dig some trenches and divert the water into my Sister-in-Law's basement next door Oh that was mean, bad me!!

Linda, that's my "toppins?" pic LOL! Link accidentally took my script mask home with him and I sorta had a meltdown. I was in the pool at Belmar talking to my squirrel for comfort, and Kiwi came out and told me to GET OUT OF THE POOL NOW KINI!!! lol! So, as I was wallowing in my sorrows of possibly not getting to dive the next day/morning cause of my mask, Kiwi captured the "precious moments." LOL! We had a good gut busting laugh about it the next day (after I got my mask back from Link).

The southern states was not the only place with storms. Southern Ontario had rain and 120kmh winds. Got home from work and found the roof is gone from the front of the house and no fence left in the backyard. We have had so much rain that trees were pulled out by the roots, several landing on homes. Power was out for several hours when hydro wires came down with 100 year old trees. Got the roof tarped in case of more showers

By **Jim Mc **-- But you can all me Link (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5367) on Thursday, April 28, 2011 - 9:34 pm: |
Nestor, I am so sorry. Good idea on the tarps. This weather, all around North America is INSANE!!!!

Luckily but unfortunately there was one death. A 70 yr old man died when a garage door blew off and landed on him. I should have waited to go on the roof. Trying to lay a 12-20 tarp by myself was dumb. Came close to getting blown off. I don't want to be a statistic. My neighbors and I will rebuild the fence without going thru insurance. Hope everyone keeps safe.

Nester, I am so sorry to hear about your home and all the damage that storm caused. Wow on the 120 mph winds. My husband grew up in Manotick, Ontario, remember lots of fishing on the river at his folks place.
|
By I'll always be BOOM here! (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #14959) on Thursday, April 28, 2011 - 10:46 pm: |
Nestor, I'm so sorry about your damage... and SO GLAD that you wised up on doing the tarp on your own. You made it thru the storm, it would be a crying shame to perish in the rebuilding.
