They lost half the roof. They played the run around the house and try to hide game and ended up in the hallway. I guess it was hard to tell in all that noise and chaos and blackness which part of the roof they were losing. Thank God the tree fell on the lawn.

The two cars in the driveway? Untouched. Not a scratch on them.
They were some of the lucky ones. (That and his location S. of the wall.) I have a lot of family in Homestead that lost everything...homes, businesses...
