Last night we had a massive storm blow through our neighborhood. The amount of damage done is staggering. We actually made it out pretty good compared to others. Our fence is blown over, we have 3 leaks in the roof and a bit of water damage inside the house.
Our insurance company (HalHarbor) responded really fast and sent Specialty Restoration of Texas over. They arrived at the house by 10 and got started. They’ve got the roof covered so if we get hit we should not get anymore damage.
Some of our friends got the full on New Orleans experience. Roofs nearly caved in, tons of water damage, standing water inside the house, wall board starting to fall off the wall. We got seriously lucky.
For your viewing pleasure, the damage:
I want to call this one out:
In our front yard there is a bird next with baby birds in it. The girls have been watching the nest very closely. They were absolutely frantic during the storm because there was no way they should have survived it. Wind was gusting well over 60mph. The news said something about 86! And yet, this morning the nest was there and the mother bird was in it (if you look closely you can see her, you’ll have to click and look at the original). We were really happy to see them survive. I hope they are a symbol for a lot of thing (like our blasted economy).
