7. "came through fine, didn't even lose power here" In response to In response to 6
though two trees bordering our property came down on neighbors' yards... looks like they took power lines but didn't hit houses.
my folks are still out though and I had to run the chainsaw over to their rental property as they lost a tree... sad to saw up the tree that I grew up climbing... still has our rope swing on it.
Beach house is a different story though... the islands are still closed and likely to be until at least Thursday. Coupla pics from here & there available online... lots of damage/photos in back bay but no indications of beach block (folks' house is just land side of hte dunes). Only hint is that the lifeguard station used to be in the dunes 7 blocks from our place; now what's left is on the beach 9 blocks from our place. We'll find out more later, guess.
