Kremi, thanks for the offer of shelter, by the way. You've been pretty cool about everything & I think it's great!
Took my family safely to Charleston with my Brothers. There are 12 of us added into one of the in-laws houses. We made the local paper if n4 was reading the paper yesterday, you'll remember Mr.Hay & his interview.
Two of my Brothers stayed in West Palm to weather it out & the report is not too bad so far. My Moms house is fine, we all pitch in to make sure her place is always tip-top. My girls put up most of the shutters & my Brothers finished the job. My Brothers have lost a few shingles, but other than that, they're OK.
My house has been hammered, I have a northern exposure and an empty lot across the street. Some of my facia is gone & I expect the interior will be saturated by driving rain. We'll see for sure in a few days when I get back. The roof should stay on since it's concrete tile & I've been treating it to liberal amounts of elastometric sealer. The big deal is the rain. With the storm stationary, we've gotten 20 inches in West Palm so far & the storm hasn't even made landfall yet.
I never got the starter fixed in the Contour in time, & my daughters car has been totalled by the ins company, so I'm in a rental & the Contour is sitting out front.
I'll keep you all updated over the next few days.
