Holy crap! That was a fricking hurricane! Wind howling, house shaking, stuff banging off the roof and walls.
When it got quiet at 11pm, we went outside into the eye of a hurricane. This is how the weather radar looked at the time. That nice round eye in the middle, that was right over us.
Shingles from our house in our neighbor’s yard. The windshield from our neighbor’s golf cart in her neighbor’s yard. Electricity flashing off and on.
This morning. Damage. Our house mostly intact but with some shingles gone. Parts blown off our shed. Leaves, branches, and trees blown down. Pieces of fence gone. Skirting gone. More than one attached carport blown away. More than one house damaged by flying carports. Sheds relocated. Water pressure gone. No television. Internet gone (but we have a backup for when we travel).
A downgrade to a tropical storm in Mexico; in the neighborhood of Monterrey. The eye is dissipating, but see those red bands off to the right? Those are rain bands that continue to pound where we live.
Severe flooding in town. The rain will likely last all day and maybe all night. The park in front of our house is turning into a lake again. I can hear frogs.
