Yup! 3 weeks ago and off crutches and 'no limp' until I get tired. I suppose I should slow down and get others to do my household chores (Hedge cutting, grass mowing, window cleaning, etc.) Thanks for asking! Mick.

Hopefully, we might have got away with it - again. The surge looked most concerning as it was forecast as 10 to 12 feet. We're on 10ft stilts and 7 feet above sea level, so hopefully only damage on the ground floor level. (vehicles, storage, etc). We just have to wait for a damage report when people can get back to the island. All part of the risk we took when we bult it in 2004/6. Thanks for your interest! Mick.

Because everyone evacuated, we don't know what the severity of surge occurred on the barrier islands. If the surge persists, the island could be impassable for days. Only then will we have an opportunity to ask other residents to do a 'drive by' to our place. We're resigned to the process taking up to a week before we hear whether we still have a house at all.
