Damage from the storm

[Houseboat Mike]

So anyone have any damage? Apparently my sailboat leaks in a hurricane....a lot.

Abandon ship!

I am sure you will rebuild.

My fence had a few sections blow down. But nothing major thankfully. Looks like the west coast got it pretty bad. I heard there's already been one death reported.

I'm going to have to replace about 3 bags of mulch what washed away.  So glad we have renter's insurance.

The screen on my patio blew out.  Shouldn't be too hard to replace.

No damage... Lots of Spanish moss, leaves, and branches everywhere.

I had pine cones everywhere.  Took at least 7 minutes to walk around the yard and pick them all up.

Got a roof leak. If I'm not around for a while, you know why.

Everybody in Riverside had their old, dead palm fronds removed from their trees for free!

During the school year, I live in Tallahassee, and it was pretty bad here. 80% of the city lost power. We just missed the eye of the storm, so were stuck with near hurricane-force winds for close to 2 hours. My apartment didn't have any significant damage, just a lot of little branches and stuff down. I lost power for only around 17 hours, but much of the city wasn't as lucky. They likely wont have power fully restored to the city for around 2 weeks. My only personal loses were all of the perishable stuff in my refrigerator. The freezer fortunately didn't even start to thaw, the ice cubes and everything were still totally frozen.

My family there in Jacksonville said they had no issues from the storm, they just briefly lost power overnight.

The city and the local TV sure scared the hell out of the citizens. It must be nice to be a weather person, who can read what the computers are telling them and then get paid to be wrong, more than half the time.

Stop that. I am going to school for meteorology. Meteorologists are right 95% of the time. The issue is that people either only notice when we are wrong, or don't understand what the forecast means (ex: do you actually know what the chance of rain given means). Oh, and by the way, meteorology is one of the most difficult fields of study. It is all upper level math and physics. Very little watching the weather. If you don't believe me, I'll post the first PowerPoint slide of the semester from one of my classes I am currently taking.

I'd be shocked to learn that British meteorologists are right 95% of the time.
