Observatory Destroyed...Posted By Ivan Gastaldo |
Well my friends, this is the first time I'm on a computer since Wilma slammed my home area... (I'm at the office this morning)
We got hit not only by Wilma, but also 3 tornadoes hit our side of town, one hitting my area directly. Thank God my family is fine, and my house has suffered some roof damage (no leaks), but the structure is still fine. My patio screening enclosure (pretty large) has been completely destroyed after a huge tree was launched against it.
My brand new roll-off roof has been reduced to scrap metal, and the roof was ripped apart and landed 5 houses down the road... (not sure if I'll build another one...)
We have no electricity (seems it might be weeks before we get it back) and no communication lines as of yet.
Anyways, I already started the cleanup, took several pictures of the damage, and we will start dealing with insurance shortly...
Just wanted to stop by and give you all a heads up...
Take good care,
Ivan
P.S.
Only other good thing about this, I'm able to see the Milky Way from home...for now....
