TOPIC: Wind & rain

Wind & rain 14 years 4 months ago #13081

We have had rain & lots of it since June 1st.

2 weeks ago, we had some straight line winds that took the north side face of my Arctic Cat sign & threw it across the highway. Also, some small stuff got blown around. Miraculously, the 4x6 plastic sign face landed in tall grass & just got a small crack in a corner.

Last night we had about 4 inches of rain. I slept thru most of it. Got to work & found my 18x21 carport ripped up & thrown across the highway. Also, my rental fishing boat (which lives under the carport with the rental ski boat) got hit. Fortunately, the ski boat was rented out. Now I wait for insurance to get things figured out.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Jim, what a mess! I was just reading on CGOAMN about the big windstorm they had in July on Okoboji Lake in Iowa too. Another member reporting that I-35 is closed due to flooding between Des Moines and Ames. The weather up there has been too bizarre the last couple of years!

Hope everything works out well for you with the insurance guy.

I went across the highway & began cleaning up the carport.

As for the boat, there is some damage, a buckle in the transom, some cosmetics and such. The lower unit is into the gravel almost to the top of the prop. I won't rescue it until the adjuster comes. I do believe I have "loss of use" coverage.

Trailer gas a broken fender.

2 fences are damaged.

The dock is a display, not owned by me.

There was no damage anywhere else, just in this corner of my yard.
