It will be interesting to see before and after satellite photos of these areas. You could really see the difference in Mexico Beach and surrounding areas after Michael, because you saw all the homes that were completely gone.

There is a common theme for the intact structures—metal roof.

Thanks for the links! Amazing videos.

We just got power back. Went out about 7:30 AM Thurs. Quite uncomfortable couple of days with heat and humidity. Thankfully no damage, save yard a big fat mess. Trees down on houses here and there. Estimated wind gusts 70 MPH or thereabouts. Pretty windy for this far inland, about 150-175 miles.

Great to hear your electricity and a/c are back in working order, and damage limited to yard salad. Dang, it is miserable cleaning up the yard without a cool house to provide relief. Thanks for your update! Been thinking about you.

I have the faintest memories of Audrey in 1957 when I was 7. Followed a similar track through North LA and I can recall the wind and rain. Don’t think we lost power then. But the old frame house I grew up in didn’t have AC, so it wasn’t a big deal.
