Here, in a nut shell, is the result of our encounter with Mother Nature's fury:

Yesterday:

Typhoon: sustained winds: 110 MPH with gusts up to 140 MPH.

Surf: 19 feet with severe rip currents inside the reefs.

Inundation: 6 feet.

Rain: 15". Heavy flooding of coastal and low-lying areas.

Today:

Winds: 50 MPH with gusts to 65 MPH

Rain: so far 5" and still falling, but subsiding.

By our standards it was what we call "banana typhoon" meaning most damage done to banana trees.

We were very lucky, this was to be a BIG one, but somehow the eye veered some to the north.

No major damage to our landscape, just a couple of trees down.... Thank you all for your prayers!

Now to take all the pots outside and do some cleaning...

till the next one :(
