I agree Kathy. There are still a lot of brush and tree limbs piled along roads too. And I’m also still seeing piles of house contents waiting to be picked up. Irma and the flooding made a mess of things and it may take a while longer to get it all picked up.
As a hurricane survivor myself (Andrew), I think most people don’t realize how long clean-up takes after a hurricane. Some of the damage is irreversible. Thanks for sharing a photo that illustrates the force of hurricane winds.
I hope you and your family were not seriously affected.
My Saturday Snapshot post features a hike among giant rocks!
l’ve been through a lot of hurricanes since I moved to Florida 30 years ago. But I think Irma did more damage in my area than the others. Lots of damage to houses, nature, and the river a mile from me overflowed a lot. And of course the electric was out for about 2 weeks, but that’s happened before. A lot of progress has been made but there’s a lot of cleanup that still needs done.
That’s a big tree. I can’t imagine the conditions that made it happen. Never been affected by hurricanes but have experienced a few earthquakes and they are scary enough.
The wind was crazy. I have a Mitsubishi Mirage and I kept it in the garage because I was afraid the wind would send it flying. I’ve been through earthquakes too, I used to live in California. I don’t know what is scarier.
That’s sad.

Wow! We only had one large tree go down and it’s starting to blend into the pasture and perimeter, making homes for birds and mice I guess.
The birds would be ok and I guess the mice would be too if they stayed in the tree 🙂
YIkes!
Yes, that storm caused a lot of yikes!
I know that hurricanes are bad things, but this photo is great.
As soon as I saw it I thought “that would make a great photo”!
