My two roommates & I, and the three dogs are safe.
Our house was damaged. In the early morning hours, a big branch broke off and smashed the roof over my bed while I was sleeping, A lot of water poured in thru the ceiling fan and I quickly got out of bed then began filling up buckets to keep the whole house from flooding.
Hurricane Irma gave us a wild night!
Outside, several trees toppled, One of them took out the power pole that supplied our house snapping it off at the base. The Fishing-Creek river flooded our whole back yard including the pool, filing it all with gunk & debris.
The important thing is that we are safe, only one room was ruined & the generator is working.
Cheers,
Steven Gilchrist

Thank goodness you are okay! You're lucky you didn't get electrocuted with the fan and water. I hope you have lots of fuel, it could be a long time without power.
Nope not me. I left on Friday morning to Atlanta. According to our base... it seems like Camden county is flooded. Idk if my house was affected but if it was I have renters insurance and full coverage with gap on my car.
But as a whole I don't think I was affected too badly. But I'll find out probably Wednesday
We are making progress here. A tree company removed the branch from the roof & my roommate patched the hole in the roof. Electricians are replacing the electric meter & connection on the house. We may get electricity back by the weekend. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hello everyone, Great news: The power came on at 1pm Saturday Sept 16. It is nice to have AC again. The hole in the bedroom roof is patched also. There are only two more things we need to do: First is clean the pool from the river flooding into it. Second rebuild the bridge to the dock. But we are making progress! Cheers, Steven Gilchrist
