First Cane.

We just got our power back, I can finally say, that I have lived thru my first cane here in Ormond Beach. I was scared, but when the eye passed this way, it wasn't the picture that I had seen in my mind. It was night outside, and I couldn't see what was going on. When I woke up the next morning, I could not believe what I was seeing thru my eyes. Uprooted oak trees, trees on houses and cars. Trees and utility poles snapped like twigs. I have never seen any of this with my own eyes until this past weekend. And it was only recorded as a category 1 here. I can't even imagine what a 2 or 4 would be like to experience first hand. I have more of a respect for hurricanes now then ever. What a truly scary experience.
