Thursday evening, Hurricane Helene came through Georgia and messed us up. I have two houses, one in Vidalia and one in Brooklet. Fortunately my house in Brooklet was okay... being that it is surrounding by Pine trees. Unfortunately my house in Vidalia was crushed by three pine trees. I have no trees in my yard. I cut them all down. My neighbors all have trees though, and three of them snapped in the wind. I believe the highest wind gusts were 75mph. My house is 2 stories, and all three trees landed on the roof, crushed through the whole upstairs, and one went all the way through the house. I had 4 of my 120 gallons full of fish upstairs and a few others downstairs. I lost quite a few very nice fish... and the house too, but very upset about the fish.
According to U.S law I am liable for all the damages to my house, even though it was my neighbor's trees from their property. It was considered an 'Act of God' according to the law. Gotta rebuild the house, and try to setup new tanks. My insurance company is already to work, but it could be a upto a year before its fully back together. Quite abit of Brooklet was damaged badly. Trees all over the road, power lines/ poles down and houses were crushed. That storm really f-ed up all of Bulloch, and Georgia to be honest. I believe 15 people lost their lives from Helene. People also won't stay off the roads. I pulled over 4 people Friday morning for racing on closed roads
The worst part is another one is brewing up right now.
