Speaking to all, and nobody in particular, my friends in Ft. Myer came through fairly well. They’re in North Ft. Myer, and while they have a mess in the yard, a broken lanai, and a few missing shingles, they fared Ok.
My friend’s dad, who lives in the same area, had a side garage door blown open, the main garage door damaged, and his boat ended up in the neighbor’s yard. Not too bad, all things considered.
BTW, the father was at his other home in Ohio, so he missed all the excitement.
Judging by the damage, I think the wind speeds were a bit hyped, it looks like the overwhelming amount of damage was from surge, and obviously homes higher up probably fared much better.
Looking at Andrew, which was pretty much all wind damage, I just don’t see how Ian’s wind speeds approached that of Andrew.
