Nice pond Cricket. I live nearby, in southeast Texas and Ike paid us a visit. This tree took off the corner of our house and slammed our deck...
The stump ball was huge...
Another got the living room...
This was the view from the front porch the morning after..
We went back to the stone age after Rita, here's the clothes dryer..
The refinery got smashed, there was tons of debris, heavy metal. We had a backhoe and a 4 wheel drive forklift dragging tons of metal out to the road. Under it all we found a small miracle. A kitten born in the eye of the storm, it's eyes weren't even open yet. It survived the hurricane and the demolition. I brought it home and Sassy raised it like one of her own...
He grew into a really cool cat..
No wonder we can't get anything done in this part of the country, just about the time we repair all of the hurricane damage another one comes in. But I digress, cool pond, keep us posted and batten down the hatches, its hurricane season again.
