Hi Everyone,
We are back. The house faired well. The greenhouses were destroyed. We had 65 to 85 mph sustained winds with the massive hurricane for about 13 hours straight. We are in between beaumont texas and port arthur texas if you are wondering. I have lost about 90% of my babies from downed trees over them to just being snapped at the base. I had a 7' vermillion queen in a 15 gallon pot that was flipped up over a pile of trees. Cant figure out that one yet! At least all of the family is safe and the house is good! Thats about the only way to look at it! I still have the 4" pot GH frame in tact and most of the 4" pots survived. Gallons were just stripped bare of all leaves. and looked like they were toys for the wind to play with. I found parts of my polycarbonate 3 blocks from me. Anyway what a site and now to clean the rest of it up. Will post some pics another day. On the good side of things a seedling bloomed (PIC) a few days after Ike when we did our sneak and peak. I'm calling it "Ike's Angel" because I do not know how it survived!

Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers, They worked! Things could have been much worse.

Robert
