Another day on the reconstruction.

Well, now we can see where the roof became a sail and travelled down the road. We did have water in the living room but it was rain water and that is better than waves lapping there!

Brother in law, Cal has moved in with his buddy to protect the neighborhood, scavenge for scrap metals and generally observe what adventure means. He has taken to sleeping on the deck; I guess that he likes the sea air! I received promises to find my staircase that was built this past year and had shorter steps for older knees! Also, our bikes need to be found under the garage debris. We only rode them one time on the beach and it was really really fun to do once the sun had started to set and it wasn't so awfully hot.

Even though we do have damage to the house, I feel incredibly lucky that it wasn't worse. Those houses in town [and behind the seawall!] filled up with water and these people are left homeless. That is what haunts us all. These west end houses are mostly owned by vacationers. Sure, there are some who live out here but they should know what the sea can do. Periodically, we are reminded with storms but this one was an especially harsh one.
