Hi everyone! Well it has been over a month since Irma visited Cudjoe. Thank goodness our house survived with minimal damage. We did loose a lot of palms and therefore our canopy. We did have some storm surge into some of the yard and significant salt burn over everything with highest gusts to 170 mph! Our Cuban and Caribbean palms survived the best. Main problem is not enough rain! I am starting to see some budding out on the croton stems so hopefully those will survive! However, I have counted at least 40+ that our definitely dead and of course, they include ones like Milky Way, Royal Horseguard, Sailor's Delight,etc. I plan to leave everything in the ground for another month before removing them.
In Ft. Myers, we had a lot of hardwood trees go down. The house did OK. Crotons blew over but just needed restaking.
So overall, we were very lucky! Judy
