To: null and void

I certainly hope so. It's dismal now. Most of it was blown over from the roots, so some could be replanted but most of that didn't do well. Alot of it was simply destroyed. High winds, tall young bamboo in unprotected areas, not a good mix. We had alot of straight line winds. Snapped pine tress in half, uprooted hundred year old oaks. My pecan trees are mostly finished.

One thing about it, it's given me a brand new landscape to deal with. ALOT of sunny areas now. LOL.

It's hard to tell which was the greatest loss, but would have to say losing the Oaks has had the biggest impact. Massive ground cover plantings underneath the oaks is finished.

I've truly got to start over and don't know what to do.

My new neighbor is from Gulfport. He says that a lot of it is just gone. He was lucky. He sold his house just before the the storm hit.
