The street outside our complex looked like this as the Hurricane passed - but fortunately, although I think the tires got a great wash, the car seems unscathed. Yup that's a river in our street.
And living above ground floor really helps!
Our complex, citing snakes and rats potentially living in the dunes, refuses to have protecting dunes - hence all the sand in our ground floor parking area under the building.But The Board likes and plants palm trees which also harbour rats and palmento bugs (large flying cockroaches to you and me).
Fortunately we survived unscathed, with just a car wash and condo windows needing cleaning. Our barrier island was evacuated and we could monitor things from afar using posted video clips. See news report here.
Our condo complex, however, took several weeks and $$ to clear the sand. Some of the neighbouring dunes were decimated, so the county has conducted an emergency replenishment project. We saw large earth moving equipment on the beach earlier this week.
