[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 601048, member: 2653"] Yep, we caught the east side of the eyewall. The only time that I've ever been scared during a hurricane, and I've been through Katrina and a bunch others. I actually made the whole family go into the "family room" because it's not close to any trees. My girls were kind of freaking out. The pic is of our house (the back) and that's leaves stuck to the side. The wind was so strong that leaves (and everything else) were blowing sideways. The barn made it through the first direction of wind, but the east wind demolished it. A lot of people don't realize who haven't been through a hurricane - but the winds can start from one direction and then change, sometimes twice, dependant upon your position in reference to the eye. For Gustav the wind first came from the south, then the east, and finally the west. Most of the 25 trees that were downed looked like this: [img]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c28/cypressfarms/pecantree5.jpg[/img] It is kind of depressing when you ride up to where a fence is supposed to be to find below. At least the big trunk you see (a huge pecan tree) fell away from the fence. Oh yeah, and d.d. the dalmation made it through fine also.
