It sounds like you took the proper precautions and with your home built as it should be, it came through with flying colors.

Irma did lose strength, but not ferocity, as attested by the continued strong winds. We hope to never go through this again!

I forgot what it is like to not have them. I hope you did get some hand sewing done, but I know that howling pounding wind is horrible, and it does give you a head ache. <br /> <br />I recall a few hurricanes that came through northern Virginia and they did rip the shingles off of our house in 1986, another time the neighbors garage door was blown in somehow. Our shingle incident the winds were measured at 75 which I thought was pretty frightening. <br />We have had a few bad ones here. I am so glad that Irma is out of your life forever.

Your excellent preparation and organization paid off. You and others were blessed. Hopefully all will return back to normal soon and we can find out if you sewed your binding during the storm or did you strum your ukulele.somethingrosemade14@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973160061640897272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1876048627096284071.post-33477210808199553092017-09-11T15:21:56.415-04:002017-09-11T15:21:56.415-04:00I'm glad to hear that you guys are okay!I'm glad to hear that you guys are okay!
