Yea...Beach Rd. area got hit hard...what we originally thought was 8 trees down ended up being 15 by the time it was all said and done. Guy across the street's total came to 25 trees. We can now see both houses behind us and the house behind him as well. We couldn't previously. Power is still out and there's about 3 - 4 miles worth of power lines that need to be completely reconstructed (poles and all) before we'll be able to get power back. The generator has been a life saver the past few days. Cold drinks, hot showers...can't complain too much. Spent the entire weekend from the time I woke up until the time I would go to bed helping dad clean the yard up. We're finally down to a little bit of shrubbage that needs to go and we'll be done. Phone lines were in and out all weekend and finally came back on to stay (knock on wood) sunday evening. Yea...it's been a fun 5 days.
