All photographs taken by us, except where noted. Luckily we only had $6,000 in damage, as opposed to some of our next door neighbors with older roofs, who suffered damage in the 70-80k range.

September 5, 2004: Radar Image of Hurricane Frances as she makes landfall. Our house is marked with an "X".

September 26, 2004: Radar Image of Hurricane Jeanne as she makes landfall. Our house is marked with an "X". No, this is not the same hurricane shown above.

The screen porch after Frances, but before Jeanne.

What's left of the screen porch that used to run along the back of our house. During the eye of Jeanne.

What's left of the screen porch that used to run along the back of our house. After Jeanne.

One of our trees. The stump is around 8 feet tall. Luckily, the tree fell AWAY from the house.

This tree was on our power line after Frances (the first hurricane).

Another shot of the backyard after Frances. The section of pine on the back bushes was about 25 feet long.

A tree just down the street. Even though the root base is now standing vertical, it still reaches a good 15 feet off the ground. The lake shown in the picture, complete with waves, used to be a parking lot.

The Savannas Natl. Preserve. Notable are the huge, thick power poles, all laying down at a 10 degree angle, along the mile-long section of road.

Here, you can see the island in the distance, beyond the fallen power pole in the foreground.

A pond, several feet deep, forms in our backyard, pooling rains from Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne.

Yet another street near the house, impassible.

Landfalling tropical cyclones this year. Our house is right near where Ivan, Jeanne, and Frances cross paths.
