User blog:CycloneRyne94/What a crazy experience

Well Guys, i just got my Power Restored after Irma had knocked it out Late-Sunday.

And, boy oh boy, was Irma once heck of an Experience?

So, as i previously said, yeah, i lost power, and bad timing too as i was about to come work on stuff when it did, it happened at roughly 7 PM that day (When it was also the Peak of the Season).

But as the Night went on while my loved ones were staying, things got crazy.

With a Weather Station that i had gotten not long before, i managed to log Sustained 50 mph Winds with Gusts up to 70 mph, plus, within 24 hours, the pressure had dropped from 1008 mbar to 976 mbar.

All of this came from the Eastern Side of Irma.

Plus, the winds were strong enough and persistent enough that i managed to lose some shingles to the wind, and i even joked: "If you had the Irma-Pox, the Shingles Virus is in your house".. and clearly the winds were like a Shingles Vaccine.

Joking aside, this wasnt all.

When Some of my loved ones went to see the damages, we saw that the way in and out of our Housing Community was Flooded, we tried going through a bit but it reached up to the bumper and we realized it was rather deep and we would risk flooding (Literally) the car.

But, we did see some damage to the Community Complex. A lot of Trees, branches or otherwise, had come down, other houses lost shingles and one of my Loved Ones had said that someone had a Stop sign get ripped from the ground and fly through their second story window.

Seriously, a lot had happened.

And i managed to get a damage photo, in particular, some of the shingles i had lost:

In All, i would say Irma was certainly one for the record books and wont be soon forgotten.
