I saw Hobiercr's post that he isn't dead which is good.
Shout out if you're alive.

All good!
Hola!
Eye is passing over us now. Non-event. All quiet on the western front.
Doing fine here. The barrier islands on the ocean side of the county took a beating.
Glad you're all not dead.
We're having a very wet day in PA and they're only predicting wind gusts of 35 or so.
Made it so far. Lolz. Not much action near the coast of South carolina.
They decided to close schools anyway.
All is OK. We lost about 30 ft of sand dunes at our beach. The dunes were wiped out further than Ian (duh) and even further than Matthew. Luckily, my stretch of beach tends to collect sand so things should recover until the next storm. The wind was probably worse than Ian, but nowhere near as much rain in NEFL.
I did spend $2500 to replace ridgecap shingles after Ian. All of the "new" shingles blew away w/this last storm. Roofer says they have adhesive and don't "really" stick that well immediately. He said they'd be up there to replace them in the next few days. He also said the builder-grade shingles they used tore off way too easily.
Here's a picture of the post-Ian repair w/the darker shingles being the new ones. See any issue with this job?
Other than it appears the ridge shingles are facing the beach?

Yea...I asked the roofer about that. The ends of the roof hip face outward (east & west). He said that's the original roof configuration and common to have that design. The edge of the roof hip caught wind on wedensday afternoon and could be seen/heard flapping before the wind even got high.
Lotsa tornadoes blowing through central VA, or rather "Tornado Warnings" announced. I think they're being over-cautious and crying "Tornado!" every time radar indicates a smidgen of rotation. Last I checked, my roof was still up there, but I do need to clean out some gutters. Got some rain, and the wind chimes have been playing a lively tune.
That was a boring one. I went out and bought a playstation, because apparently they all got shipments Wednesday, and then everyone was closed Thursday morning. Waltzed in to GameStop, and walked out with a PS5 this morning. It's a big Chungus.
We didn't lose any branches from Nicole, but it knocked loose several that Ian left in the trees.
Today I dragged them to the curb.
As I tossed the last one onto the pile, I heard a familiar groan: It was the debris truck rounding the corner. Could not believe it.
They stopped for a minute to grab our pile before moving on down the street.
Closure.

Wonder if this "roofer" is new at the job.

Really? Wow. We still have almost all the debris/brush piles lining the road. It's to the point where pulling out in traffic is difficult. You can see traffic from your left.
