And maybe because of Charlie we didn't take as much damage. He knocked down everything. Which is good. I did not see any where near the same type of tree and roof damage as with Charlie. It smelled like Christmas when we did what they say don't do, we went out during the eye. And to this day I remember that smell smacking me in the face when we opened the door. Not with Irma. She lasted longer. We didn't get the eye, but we had hurricane winds and lots of tornado watches. But Irma was big and effected way more people then Charlie. Both were scary but for different reasons. Charlie was terror, felt like a train kept running over the house, but was over fast. Irma seemed to go on for ever, the winds were nuts but not the train thing.
Personally house and family fared very well, much better then Charlie. We lost nothing with Irma. I thought for sure the fence we installed after Charlie and the new gutters and its splash shield, installed less then a month ago were toast. Both made it.
We were lucky.
Thanks for the welcome back. It's nice to be working on getting back to normal.
