Hurricane Irma was a direct hit on my town in SW Florida. Northstar was kind enough to pick up the shipping on my latest order. It’s he small things, helping out a brother in the glass community. Much appreciation.

Here’s my report:
We had to evacuate at the last minute after prepping for the hurricane for weeks. Cat 4 Irma slammed my town with 140 mph winds.

He have a house with a wrap around porch, all screened in - all screens destroyed. Trees down everywhere, plants brutalized. (I️ rescue tropical plants and tend to them on my acres).

Fridge was rotten when we got back. House smelled like DEATH for a month, even after tossing the fridge out.
Water well system was destroyed, well house smash by a tree. (Pic). Good times! We managed ok. Still working every day to clean up, but things are getting back to normal.

Grateful for the meteorological forecast systems for the warning. Happy most of my family survived. (One dog got out of the broken fence and died). Still in good spirits and happy to be back on the torch. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171108/4baf0738da30cdbcc5dd3e1d4e1b0d7d.jpg
