Here is the text of an email from Beth and Skeeter about their visit home:
_______________________________________________
All of our extended family are safe and unharmed.
We returned home Monday to find NO DAMAGE to the
house, not a shingle, piece of siding, window, patio
cover - nothing. A 30' section of fence was leaning
about 8" and two small trees were laid down. Our tree
fern and the rest of the landscaping was even spared,
with only litter to pick up. We were amazed.
Beth's mother's house was looted. Not much was taken,
her wedding ring(s) computer modem and wireless router
were all that we know of.
Woodmere,
There was no flooding in the front section. We heard
that the rear section of Woodmere had been flooded,
but when we went to Sherie's house wee could not find
a water line. I could not find her key and it was too
dark in the house to see through the window. Most of
the homes in Woodmere had light to moderate roof
damage, many of these had plywood exposed and may have
had rain water damage as a result. Most fences were
down, LOTS of downed trees and a lot of siding torn
loose.
The National Guard is set up at entry points and
requires identification as to the address of all who enter.
