I bet Brians lost power. He'd have been online by now.

60mph is about the speed where we start to get serious damage around here.
Are you out of the woods yet Gigi?

No, I just overslept. The rain has finally quit for the time being. I'm supposed to work this morning but I haven't gotten a phone call with an address yet. It looks a little breezy and still cloudy but nothing to stop work over. I betcha everything is real soggy though.

I was never in the eye, it passed south of Orlando and up the east coast. It seems to have stalled off the coast aimed at Jacksonville. It rained off and on all day yesterday and last night and it's still raining this morning.

Mr. Sir & Skwerl, you all must be lying. According to the news in T.V. this morning;
"The State of Florida is under attack by hurricane Fey". :what:
Go figure.

I went to breakfast earlier with one of my tree buddies. On the way home we spent about 10-15 minutes driving through a couple neighborhoods to see what kind of damage was out there. We did find one house with a 8"-10" limb that had broken out of an old rotten oak.

Wow, this storm supposedly passed us by yesterday but we've had 3" of rain in the last 4 hours! Over 4" so far today. It just keeps raining and raining and raining. Makes me very thankful for my comfy cozy home.

Less than an hour after my last post yesterday, my power went out. I went out and took 5 trees off of 4 houses today (all 4 houses had power) and when I got home I still didn't have power. It finally came on 10 minutes ago.
Still raining here. Too much water, everything is saturated. Big trees snapping off at the base and/or uprooting. I suspect we have not seen the last of the uprooted trees. Here's pics of my first job today. Two trees, one across the drive and the other on the houses. I had to cut the trunk of the first one out of the way before I could get my truck into position where you see it here. The tin roof on the one house got trashed, house on left had minimal damage.

I woke up this morning to clear skies. The rain has finally stopped here. It's been a wet week for sure, rained pretty much nonstop from Tuesday evening till Friday evening. PNWers might be used to that kind of weather but our typical rainstorms last for 1-3 hours, not three days.
I suspect we may have a few more blowdowns this weekend and then a rash of dying trees in the next couple months due to the localized flooding.
Hugashe, how'd you make out up there in Jacksonville?

We talked to a friend who lives in Ocalla last night .To use her exact words she said it was raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock .

Fay managed to set a record by making landfall 4 separate times in Florida. What a miserable, wet storm. Good bye and good riddance.

The lady from Ocalla had some interesting experiances in one of the places they had lived since being in the sunshine state .
They lived near a canal at the time some place in Fla ..When the waters came up from the torrential rains from a hurricane the damned snakes invaded her back yard .
She has a big old yellow lab that would hold those water moccisons at bay while her husband got out the 12 gauge .One time a 4 foot gater decided to move in .That was the last straw,they moved to Ocalla .
