We are a little north of Gainesville.... We were really lucky this time, it is windy and had some TS force gusts, but never lost power, got 2-3" of rain. We will see this morning if there is any damage, but so far everything looks good.
With Helene, we lost power for 5 days and had numerous trees down, some on fences. The top out of 1 tree snapped off and just grazed the chicken pen - thank goodness. Our house on the Gulf had 7' of water in the bottom - but it is on stilts, so designed for that, but the garage and screened porch are still a mess, filled with mud... and we are missing some soffit in a few places and some damage to some siding. Overall very lucky, the homes on both sides are total loses I think, they were built just a few feet off the ground :/
Oh my goodness girl...so grateful you and your home survived Helene! I know how devastating these storms are from living on the coast of Texas. Happy to hear that Milton was better for you and your area. Thanks again for checking in.🙏
