Y-IKE!!! The aftermath

IKE has come and gone and now all that remains are the repairs and cleanup that is still underway throughout the area. Justin and I lucked out with minimal damage to the house and yard. From the pictures of the front tree you can see which direction the wind gusts were coming in (notice the lopsided look from all the missing branches on the left side). We are also missing quite a few shingles and still waiting on an adjuster to come out and take a look.

Unfortunately our neighborhood entrance did not fare as well. The Oaks at Southdown should be from this point on referred to as The Oaks Down at Southdown. It seems that almost all the common area trees are down or severally damaged. They were one of my favorite parts of the neighborhood.

It was a crazy night, and a long week that followed, that I am sure we won't forget for quite some time.
