Well we found out Saturday morning just how much stuff had migrated out of storage in the pod to scatter itself around the yard. Actually it all fit pretty easily into the shed, and the boats were moved up to higher ground and tied to trees easily as well.
It was the construction stuff that was more worrisome. We moved some wood inside, and tidyed loose scraps, but besides closing the door on the dumpster there wasn't too much to do but keep our fingers crossed.
The level of the water at the pond had dropped 4 or 6 inches. Interesting, because I didn't think the previous owners had sold the pond, so I wonder who has (or assumed) that responsibility. The poor beaver lodge was completely out of the water - wonder how that impacts them.
If we hadn't been so busy moving potential projectiles around, I would have loved to take a rake and cut back on the seaweed. oh well.
During a break in the storm midday today we did a tour of the perimeter. Luckily, there was not much damage apparent.
The tarp had come off this beauty, another gift from the previous owner that one of the workers offered to take for scrap metal - we had happily agreed because we couldn't budge it.
We also found some erosion along the side of the porch and foundation.
Looks like the silt fence did its job, though.
And, one big branch down.
All things considered, though, it fell in a pretty good place - we can get in and out, no damage to the house, shed, or garage, and we had moved the zip line from this location a couple weeks ago.
Hope you all are safe and dry as well.
