The local motorcycle shop lost a lot of its roof.

Corner store - Ike_03.jpg

This is the convenience store about 2 blocks up and 3 blocks over from my house. At least the structure fell in one piece.

One street over

The street on block south of us got hit much harder than we did.

Park - ike_07.jpg

Big old tree uprooted just inland from the bay (which has a tall embankment that saved us from storm surge).

The branches toward the ground are the bulk of our willow tree. The whole center of it broke off.

It has two semi-major limbs left, one on each side, but the center is gone, along with the beauty.

This is the center tree in the big side of our yard. Tree big limbs down, which is the bulk of the tree.

Shed and porch

Shed and porch - ike_14.jpg

You can see lightweight stuff on my porch is still in place, yet the well shed lost a door in the back yard and we lost many trees in front. Weird.

Cedar tree

You can sort of tell that the cedar tree is flopped over, here.

The new roof is intact, yay. The ground is covered in debris but the door on the porch with the glass window didn't break. We have remodeling supplies stored here.

A lot of this tree was lost as well, but we can probably save this one.

Side fence

Side fence - ike_20.jpg

This fence attracts all manner of wild junk plants, including quick-to-propagate Chinese Tallow trees. Two of those broke, and we have a clearer view. The fence is impossible to keep clear.

Storage truck

Storage truck - ike_21.jpg

The truck container we bought for storage didn't tip over. This is something of a miracle as it's only sitting on cinderblocks stacked about 4 high.

A tree fell on this house, but didn't penetrate the roof (we think).

Trees were everywhere.

We eventually stopped photographing downed trees cuz there was at least one tree down per house, though not necessarily one on one... some had two, or four like us. Others had none.

Not sure....

We don't think this tree penetrated the roof, either. It seems to be a large limb laying on the roof.
