Disaster Strikes, Oh @#$%!

I’m glad all you So Cal members are OK. I couldn’t believe all the damage I saw on the news. I do have to say I’m glad I don’t live in Riverside anymore I would be replacing my roof again.

Yea I lost 2 of my building from a storm. I never saw them again, don’t know what happen to them. :frowning:

Well at least there was no water. That would have been even worse.

Well so far here is the worst of it, although we did loose a few shingles off the garage, hopefully the wind tonight will be less foracious. I’ll fix the garage this weekend. This is a gazabo that had its canvas cover ripped off by wind at the beginning of summer, this time the wind grabbed those tightly folded curtains like a sail and pushed it across the pavers until the legs collapsed. One neighbors fence disintigrated, the others had a gazabo that got pummeled and they lost part of their roof over the patio. There are trees, branches, yard stuff piled up just everywhere. The city came thru the streets very quickly and by afternoon had all the major branches and blockages cut up and cleared off our street, but their is still a tremendous amount of folage laying on the ground in other areas. Spent 4 hours raking what could into the yard can, what was left (4X can loads) is piled in the street, like everyone else. It was a dry hurricane, all the wind just not the wet, thank goodness.
