Gus and I hiked the last 1.6 miles down to the house. Worry was evident on our faces. Did the cupola/vent get pulled off the garage roof? Was damage done to the unfinished front entrance since the roof was only propped up, the entrance posts not yet installed? Water leaks? Downed trees? Anything else broken (like lightening rods or worse yet, the windows)? NOTHING MISSING, NOTHING BROKEN? The entrance and cupola were intact. The only damage we suffered were a few fallen trees along the bank (we've a better river view now, thank you), some water in the master and guest bedrooms on the N/NE side of the house (what do you expect with sustained winds of 50-60 mph and gusts as high as 89 mph at Dahlgren – although I have heard of gusts at 105 mph locally!), and LOTS of flotsam and jetsam on our beach, but the old Hickory tree on the beach is still there.
