Roly & Candy spent the day Friday, Sept. 12 removing all outside hanging things. Bird feeders, wind chimes and anything that moves came down. It was estimated that they might have 60 MPH winds for sustained periods. This meant the boats and jet skis had to be roped securely. Since Tyler was enjoying the quiet Rocky Mountain community of Boulder, Colorado at the University of Colorado, Roly and Candy had to to all the work without him!!!! We talked to them as the storm approached and during the storm just before the eye of the Hurricane reached them. They escaped with little damage but lost several large trees on the adjacent property. Roly said the rain came in sheets as the wind gusted. This lasted for most of the day. The rain was welcomed to fill the lake which was about 3 feet low leaving some dry ground close to the sea wall. This storm moved north and east towards Chicago curling over Michigan dumping rain all along the way. Roly said this storm was over 100 miles wide! Many people need help as they try to recover after the major destruction left behind.
