post storm report

Posted by treefrog @ 11:06 on September 3, 2016  

all is well. it wasn’t really bad. pretty mild until about 23:30 thursday when i lost power (and subsequently, phone line). there was a period of about a half hour just after midnight when we got winds maybe 40-50 mph. a spiral band with embedded thunderstorms/mini tornadoes? no significant damage to anything at treefrog manor. a few small branches down, nothing that would take two hands to pick up. i got off easy. my son lost a BIG oak at his place in tallahassee, but he got lucky – it fell away from his buildings and into the street. my daughter has leaves and twigs strewn all over. all in all, we got through it well.
the general area? took some hits, but it wasn’t a killer storm. lots of trees and branches down. power lines down with the trees – some streets blocked. i drove around yesterday and didn’t see much building damage. east and central tallahassee hit harder than the west side. that spiral band?
east of here? perry? cross city? cedar key? they got harder hit.
got power back on friday evening. the milk in the fridge wasn’t spoiled. the phone line didn’t come back on ’till this morning.
