An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

That's how a flatbeder secures his roof before a hurricane, but he should have tarped it 1st.

 

Inspecting the damaged trees around my house it almost looked like it was almost a mini tornado the way the tops were twisted. I did notice one piece of my workshop did sustain a little damage. The 2x10 on the end of the shelter I have over my air compressor is snapped vertically and the one tree beside it is missing it's top, so it appears that it twisted it off and dropped it straight down on the shelter.

 

To emphasize how strong this storm was in our area. A friend of ours lives in a 1950's concrete block house in the city of High Springs, she said she was tempted to grab a mattress and sleep in the hallway it was so bad. To be honest, the truck didn't get bounced around last night nearly as bad as some nights in WY or NE. My wife was kinda nervous, but I didn't even think twice.

 

I do have to say that thus far, SPD has been very accommodating when I mentioned that my hometime may need to be extended since we're not sure when we'll get electricity back after this storm. The city of High Springs is still mostly in the dark. In my neighborhood there are many power lines still on the ground, including one right around the corner that the top of the pole snapped off, including the transformer. We all kinda helped out the county by clearing trees out of the roads, at least the ones that weren't on top of power lines.
