Phyllis Wagner-Bolger and more than a dozen members of her family spent the night at Ursuline Academy on State Street, where her brother, Steve Wagner, is facility manager.

Monday morning, there was about a foot of water on the streets, she said. “There isn’t one big tree left. All of these cypress and oak trees on the outer perimeter, they’re all down. We lost power at 10 til 5 in the morning, and it was between 3 and 4 a.m. that we started hearing all the trees fall.”

Part of the roof also was blown off, and the skylight in a storage room shattered, Wagner-Bolger said.

“You look out there, and all this stuff is toppled. You know what’s still standing? The statue of Jesus with the outstretched arms. No matter what you believe, it’s pretty amazing, ” said Wagner-Bolger’s sister, Doris Bastiansen.
