Luckily we have minimal damage, some ridge tiles on the roof are gone and we lost some screen panels over the pool. Also fortunately for us, we had impact glass fitted last year so we were able to watch the storm through the windows instead of being shuttered up in the dark like we were during previous storms. We are only 25 feet from the edge of a lake and it was like watching the ocean with massive white horses and spray going about 30 feet in the air. Trees in the state park on the other side of the water were bending almost horizontally and we felt so sorry for all the wildlife in there.
I suppose I'll have to fix the roof myself as all the roofing companies are going to be so busy repairing far worse damage than we have.
I'll give a bigger update later when we've finished clearing up, but meanwhile thanks again to my friends on here for being so concerned.
