TS Fay - Checking The Damage During A Lull

UPDATE III:
It's now dark.
I can hear the wind pick up and then die down from inside the house. An occasional limb rolls across the roof. I can't hear the water lapping in the yard unless I open the door. I haven't a clue if the boat is still there. We've lost power twice but unlike the times before, it has come back on. I've lit candles anyway and cranked the air down in the bedroom.

Logging off now.
Going to be a long night. Once it's daylight, provided I can, I'll shoot a short video and share what I find...

UPDATE II:
As feared. We are now losing the dock walkway... The boat is still in its lift. Taking a battering but still there. If it makes it through all this, we'll have a boat but we'll have to swim to get to it :) and even then we'll not have any power to lower it down!

UPDATE:
Minutes after the post the wind returned and with it the waves. The poor walkway looks like little bombs are exploding under and over it. We're transitioning from low to high tide which is prime damage time. If we can just get through tonight we're home free. I think. I hope..
OK, I pray.....

Taking advantage of a lull in Fay's little tap dance on NE Florida to video before the next band hits. Because when it hits, Flip and I will not be outside :)

Once this lull passes and the wind returns, the river will take on the appearance of an angry ocean complete with wave after wave smashing into the dock and washing up into the yard. And while that is happening the rain will steadily come down. Areas around us are reporting 2-5 inches of rain an hour. Thankfully, while saturated, we haven't had one of the frog chokers others are reporting.

And for the record, I made a mistake while talking into Flip. The World Golf Village is southeast of us not southwest...
