My power did not go off. If power goes off around here, I learned after Ike went through, that power is first restored to the hospital, then to county/city government and I’m in the area of county/city government including city cops and county cops, so when their power goes back on, so does mine.
We left about 10 to go to Lowes and HEB and everything was normal as far as business being open. The lady at Lowes said they opened at 7 with nearly everyone there. Other than sand on the bridges, I could not see anything out of the ordinary.
Our magnolia tree went from a beautiful tree to a mess. It has a number of limbs 4”-6” broken, some of which are still lodged up in the tree. The redbud tree was growing slanted to start with, now is really leaning from ground level. It will need to be killed. Another unidentified tree that was not very attractive had the top half of it’s limbs broken. I got some pictures, but they do not show the magnitude of what happened. There are some trees or limbs on the workshop building, but I cant get close enough to tell just what is going on there.
Now I must find someone to clean up the mess. $$$
