*Offical Frances Damage Report Thread*

Well the wind a rain FINALLY stopped about 1/2 hr ago here in Gainesville, and it looks like it might even clear up later. The damage? Pretty extensive for being so far inland. I haven't had power for THREE FREAKING DAYS! I'm at Starbucks now (have to have some Chai and some AC). My neighborhood has a TON of debris and fallen trees. A few fell on some houses, two huge ones fell across the road, blocking us in, another large one took out a good portion of our fence... etc etc.

I'll post pics as soon as I get home to take some pictures.

The good news is, no damage to the house or the vehicles parked outside, and only 3 deaths reported that I heard of, and those were more stupidity related. The yards look like absolute TRASH though. We live in a very wooded community, and its unbelievable.

On the bright side though, there won't be half as many leaves to rake this fall...

How'd everyone else make out?

*Note* These pics below are from The Gainesville Sun.

 

Reporting from port orange here. We lost alot of shingles from our roof. Enough that we had water running into our attic over the garage, were the evo was parked. Well, enough water got into the attic that the sheetrock ceiling of the garage got wet, and well when sheetrock gets wet, it gets weak. I had a nice chunk of sheetrock fall on the evo putting a decent size dent in the roof Insurance has been called but the dent doesnt look bad enough that it'll cost more than my 500$ deductible to fix. My roof on the other hand will be many thousands of dollars to replace. My evo had to sleep outside last night for the first time since I bought her I've got pics on my camera but with no power at home i can't get them uploaded yet.

 

i was in palm beach here my house has no power since friday and alot of trees down and stuff one thing i saw was a new corolla with a BIG tree in its back windshield theres also some curfew in effect at 8 pm theres no lights in the cities so its real dangerious at night seems like they dont really care all they want is to give tickets out the only decent thing ive seen in the past few days is the army coming in and i had some integra ls with some rims and exhaust try to race me. the situation isnt to bad here tho thank god for the irrigation systems

 

god, empty cities all over florida...perfect time to race, cept for the trees in the roads

 

things would be SO much better if only i had power at home. i just heard today we likely won't have it until SATURDAY! great. just in time for the next hurricane to knock it out. i think i'm just gonna camp out in starbucks. its nice and cool in here, and smells a hell-of-a-lot better than the funk in my humid, humid house.

 

Miami is actually pretty good as Frances missed us. Some rain, some squalls and a lot of cabin fever. The people are real stressed over Ivan and getting stuck at home all weekend.

Car Is A-OK

 

eh we are getting hit right now by the left over of frances...i have tornandos touching down like 15 miles from me here at work....been pouring buckets since early am....no sun in site

 

rain and wind with twister watch that's about all

 

man that sucks derrick, the power only wen out for me from 7-11 last night and it was shut off so they could work on all the crap.

 

i live in palm beach. just got my power back today. w00t!!!!!! anyway, I lots alot of trees, some cars in my development got really messed up. most of town is still /wout power/water. some guys I work with wont have power back for another week because the city of lake worth has its own power company, which had a roof collapse. I have some pics and vids at . They are from the day BEFORE the storm hit. I have more after pics, as well, that I will upload when I get inet at home again.

 

I live a little south of palm beach, more around boca in parkland. I lost power for 4 days tons of trees are down, smashed roofs, huge trees on cars and flooding. Some BMW got smashed by a tree and ripped the axels off. Not a pretty sight :-/

 

here's my pics from frances including a few shots of the dent in my evo
