The wind was strong enough during Irma that a gust blew over a very large Live Oak Tree next to Laurel Manor. I am not good with guessing but It towered over Laurel Manor and had huge roots. It was indeed fortunate that it fell away from the building and the building had been evacuated. How tall you'all think that tree was? 90 foot???
AND I copied Tucillo's credentials. I am so grateful for his background and his experience when we are faced with these issues on the Forum. I know that even with all knowledge, Tropical Storms and Hurricanes do whatever they want to.
I tend to worry about stuff and I really didn't worry much about Irma. Elsa has NO business being here at all. She is a Snow Queen and way outa her realm.

If you don't like the post then don't read it. I have given current information. You just need to read the posts. And, yes, I am a meteorologist. Undergraduate and graduate degrees in meteorology. I was a research scientist at NASA and the National Weather Service, where I developed numerical weather prediction computer models on supercomputers for research and operational forecasting.
I do try to provide some useful information when things get interesting. However, most of what you need to know you can obtain by watching the news.
