Default Re: Tropical Storm Fay

We own a property in Mallory and the damage there (in Mallory) was horrible. Our property escaped with some ripped screens, dented downspout, and flying shingle marks on the stucco. A power wash, new paint and a few odd jobs were all we had to do. Others were not so fortunate. We were in our other home here at the time. A neighbor called us at 7AM saying "Just want you to know that your house is OK" I blinked and answered carefully "Okaaaaay......is there a reason you are telling me this?" As the crow flies I am probably only a mile away from the Mallory house. In the case of this tornado, what a difference a block meant.
