Thread Name: BS: Florida Mudcatters - how are you?!
Subject: RE: BS: Florida Mudcatters - how are you?!
Well, it was very tricky climbing up on the slick roof to throw a tarp over the tree and the smashed part of the roof. My neighbors scrambled up on the roof right away with a chain saw and sawed off most of the smaller limbs. The tree cutter is coming over tomorrow to get it off the roof and will be done probably before the adjustor gets here. I took pictures. It smashed my fig tree up pretty good. It is so soggy here you just sink into the ground when walking around.

The weird thing is there wasn't much wind at all and the rain was the typical rainstorm kind. The tree was rotten at the base and it just uprooted from my neighbors yard, through his fence and onto my roof. The roof line is over my son's room and his bathroom and since he is not home now, even if it leaks to the ceiling it won't bother anyone. I hope the roof rebuilders whoever they are can get it done quick. I just had a funny feeling about this storm being a problem for me. So glad I didn't lose my home altogether. I'm lucky...
