Title: Hurricane Michael Update - Well, for me anyway...
Post by: Chris Calohan on September 07, 2019, 03:38:14 pm
For those of you who have been following my Hurricane saga, these are post storm before images and ones I shot today to celebrate the end of the rebuild (though a few more things to finish up). Its taken 10 months and 27 days to get from there to here and I'm one of the lucky ones who has a livable house...thousands upon thousands are still without roofs. The images you are seeing on the TV from the Bahamas is exactly what we looked like after initial impact as we too were a category 5 hurricane. Fortunately for us, ours was a fast mover - in and out in less than 5 hours.

That's great.  Nice dock.  Those new walls.  Do they protect the house against future flooding?

Alan, I'm 25 feet above the lake so no danger of flooding.

Nice site you've got there! I see no boat?

Boat is in the boathouse to your left from back facing shot. My dock still needs some repair work and a new lift.
