Nice.

I trust you were inside a sturdy structure during the actual storm.

I like the v-shaped tree and its reflection. It seems to point to a beaver nest or something similarly shaped.

Hi Eric and Francois.
Thanks for your nice comments.
I was away when Ida struck. Came home a week later to find so much destruction it sickened me. Somehow my little house was untouched.
The way the tallest cypress is going over with the reflection making a "v" seemed good because if gave some structure and movement to the image.
Francois, I'm glad you saw the 2 "v's". That the big tree pointed at another "v" shape was just a fortunate circumstance. The little "v" is actually a mass of tangled branches and spanish moss.

Way too familiar a sight to me...hurricanes, like tornadoes are non-selective in their destruction.
