The hurricane officially hit landfall on Sunday afternoon. The eye was about 90 miles from us, which was farther away than it was last August. Because of that we thankfully did not have any tornadoes. Instead, we got a lot of rain. From Sunday afternoon until Monday morning we had 8 inches of rain in our rain gauge. We got two more over the next 24 hours making the total 10 inches of rain for this storm. it was windy, but nothing like it was last year. I was still glad that we put all of the outside furniture behind the tiki bar and found a safe space for my gnome and turtle in the garage.
I walked around the house and assess the damage this afternoon. I was surprised at how little there really was. I could hear water dripping in one of the exhaust fans, but nothing came through to the floor. There were some branches down off of the arborvitae bushes , but overall, everything looked great. I was very surprised that we had no standing water after that much rain. I couldn’t believe that the retention pond across the street was relatively dry after the storm. Doug only had to work a half-day from home on Monday morning. The plant was up and running and thankfully nobody lost power. Even our Internet stayed on throughout the storm. Both of us were thankful to have survived another hurricane. Our fingers are crossed that this is the worst that we get this year.
