We're slowly getting back to normal after evacuating for Irma. It was really great that the power came back on just as we got home.
Yesterday we leveled the trailer and then unhitched it from the car. We were just too tired to deal with it when we got home at 7:00 Thursday night. We've unloaded everything out of the trailer and I'm catching up on the laundry.
This morning I went around the yard checking to see how our plants fared and took some photos. Most of the leaves were stripped from our Tibouchina tree, but it was amazing that a lot of the flowers were still there.
Our oak trees took the brunt of the storm and the upper branches are mostly gone on the tree in the front yard. Hurricane Matthew took a large number of the upper branches last year and Irma finished the job this year.
We had reservations to go to Fort Clinch on Amelia Island next week for 5 days and Mike cancelled the reservation. They did have some damage and may not have the campground open by next week. Besides, we aren't ready to take another trip right after getting home from this one.
We had reservations at Curry Hammock State Park for next month for 5 days and we got an email that our reservation was being cancelled because of damage to the campground due to Hurricane Irma. Curry Hammock is right on the Atlantic Ocean and only 36 miles north of Cudjoe Key where Irma crossed the Keys. We had been looking forward to going to Curry Hammock - maybe sometime next year after they've made the repairs.
