Afternoon all. What a crap week and a half. Hurricane hit us Sunday night/Monday morning. Had a massive pine tree fall in the front yard. Missed the cars by a couple of feet. Lost power around 7:30am on Monday and didn't get it back till Thursday night and even then it was off and on until Saturday. Had a lot of neighbors come and help cut up the tree enough to get it out of the driveway. Worked Tuesday and Thursday. We went to San Antonio Friday although it took us forever to get there because of traffic. It took us a while just to get out of the house. The tree that feel ripped up the neighbors water line. Friday morning they came to fix it and then broke our water line. So no water for a couple of hours and the power kept going off and on. Came home from San Antonio tomorrow and getting things done today before work tomorrow.

Was just reading a post about the power issues. Glad to see the tree missed your houses, and the cars.

It's just crazy how this storm dropped that much rain and caused that much chaos. I don't think Harvey did that much damage 7 years ago and it was a Cat 4.

I'm glad to hear you and your wife are safe but sorry that you've had the issues of the aftermath. At least your car and house didn't fall victim to the falling tree

Thanks guys! All is well now. The tree has been completely cut up. Now if we could just get the trash guys to come pick up everything. Haven't seen them since before the hurricane.

Large trees falling are no fun. Glad they missed the cars and everything else and that everyone is okay. We have more than our share of trees/large limbs etc. falling during storms. Glad things are back to normal for you.
