Summer 1995 - Hurricane' Erin & Opal
In September 1995, hurricane Erin passed through the area, while a direct
hit, not really much damage occurred. I had some shingles come off the
roof, but the main damage was the wind blew out all the screens from a
screened in porch that was on the front of my house. I decided that it
was the timing was good to upgrade the area and enclose it to the main part
of the house. Wouldn't you know that before I could even get it finished
that hurricane Opal, 60 days later, came through the area leaving a meter (
three feet ) of sand in my yard from the storm surge. Trying to keep
my truck safe I parked it by the side door, under the windows however the
water took my truck to the front of the house and half buried it! The
adventures of living in a paradise!
