Heres the aftermath in my neighborhood after Matthew passed nearby early Saturday a.m. The first photo is of a greeting I put on my front door when the storm roared through. Some neighbors had folks knocking on their doors to see who was at home and who wasnt after the evacuation order from the Governor. We had 17 of rain in parts of the city during the run-up and when the storm went by. Im 14 miles from the coast and the eyewall was 12 miles off the coast when it was Cat. 2. Our neighborhood had sustained 55 mph wind and 71+ gusts. Tybee Island our nearest beach added about 20 mph to the above. Driving through town showed trees felled in a SSE direction as the wind blew from the NNW when the wall passed Savannah. The second photo is of a huge white oak that toppled into a sweet gum tree 75 from my home. The third photo shows sweet gum limbs on top of a neighbors ragtop Seville and Range Rover 100 to the right of my home. Fourth photo is Power Line Construction Co. employees from Victoria, TX. We owe a debt of gratitude for the power companies from other regions which flocked into Brunswick, Savannah, and other parts of the lowcountry. I should have power tonight as the crews were reinstalling transmission lines behind my house. Having homes in close proximity helped shield homes from an unfettered wind blast.
