I hope everyone is alright and continues to stay safe. It's not exactly safe out there even now. Some branches are just dangling and could come down any time.

Knolan, losing trees is such a sad business. I'm glad y'all are all right. I'm tired already just from trying to clear my driveway! Clean up is not going to be fun.

Good news though. If I can get my ladder out and get on the roof and find something to cover it, I think I can do a temporary fix. I can see one of the branches that punched through the roof and it's not attached to anything! See the toothpick like thing sticking out of the middle!

A police officer stopped by and she said that tarp and chainsaws are in low supply. That's stuff I did not think of before the hurricane, but I will next time!
