Thursday, 12/1/2011: 90-100 mph Gusts...The Starkey's were ok. The structure was well, mostly ok
Lost 50% roof,
gained a couple cracks on inside ceiling and wall, also gained two neighbors’ pine trees
over the fence almost going into our bedroom. They are not growing the right direction, however. Well actually they are not exactly growing anymore.
Stay tuned…….it is not finished…….have you ever worked in an office and thought the roof was coming off?
It is a fun day. Our neighbor across the street said it reminded her of The Wizard of OZ.

(Documented in the web album ) The final picture is a video, showing what is presently being torn off, as we write, hopefully to be replaced by Saturday, then sealed with WARM WEATHER :)
Note a teen comment: "Can we go inside now? (In other words, this is entertaining, but can we be done?)
Back to Boeing…..Two: Boeing celebrated the certification and beginning deliveries of two new aircraft models: the 787 and the 747-800 after long delays.
Documenting progress!
A funny addendum to this addendum: This Sunday as the neighbors neared in jeans with rakes and forklift machinery to remove tree fodder to prepare for a second predicted windstorm, we peered down our cul de sac to see two police cars parallel, conversing. First, we hoped that our little neighbor who has seizures was all right. Then another neighbor deduced that police had noticed an empty church with all the LDS neighbors out in jeans on a Sunday--there had to be something wrong! (The 14 year old boys and the men had such a good time they are petitioning for a pilot program to make such an activity every week.)
The trees were removed (from our curbside and then the whole neighborhood) within two hours.
May your roofs remain intact, your trees upright. But if not, may approaching winds bring your family huddling close and your neighbors in tandem to help.
