Julie & I got back to our house in Savannah around 4pm on monday.  Once the curfew was lifted, we found a friend that was driving out to our area.  Our house is fine!  There are some broken branches but nothing else.  In area, Savannah, there is flooding though.  Just 3 streets from us there is about 3ft of water in the streets.  This was expected since it is quite low and prone to storm surge flooding. Today we are putting everything back in its place in the house and bringing things back to normal.

 There seems to be a lot of readers from all over the world who have found my blog via Google.  Thanks again for your comments and messages 🙂

Here are a few Youtube videos we shot once we left the shelter.  There are also pictures below.

This is a small tree outside our house.  You can clearly see where the wind came from!

Me again in about 1.5 ft of salt water in Savannah … it gets deeper but I did not want to get my boots all wet.  Its not really as bad as it looks.  People dont have basements, so I doubt they got flooded in their homes.
