Before & During Tropical Storm Fay

This was Sunday evening. It was so peaceful. Tropical Storm Fay is hanging around. This morning we had 3 1/2 inches of rain. The storm had some powerful winds. Some of our winds were probably in the 40's. During the time we were in the eye this morning, it was so quiet. Now that it has moved a little, we are once again being hit with the feeder bands. We were so thankful this was only a tropical storm and not a hurricane since it hit us directly. We will continue to get quite a bit of rain and wind the next day or two.
Yesterday(Tues)morning, the neighbor was on a ladder tightening up a cable and fell. 911 came and took him to the hospital. Cracked #4 vertebrae. Will be in a brace and time will heal. He was getting ready for the storm.
This was taken while we were in the eye of the storm this morning-quiet, no rain or wind. Doves were in and out of the bird bath.

This was at the boat landing during the storm. The river is out onto the landing. Boards are broken off the dock and laying there.
This is where it blew out of the tree
