We did pretty well. That is, except for the sinus/ear infection that
started on Thursday. We had storm proofed the yard so no real problems
there. The only injury was a butterfly bush that got knocked down by
the neighbor's baby pool. *sigh* Why they didn't put in the their
garage, I'll never know. Fortunately, the s.o. righted the bush, tamped
down the dirt around it and it seems to be doing okay so far.

As to water, it wasn't as bad as some of the rain we had earlier this
year. My guess is that the winds had a heavy drying effect on the
water. I know that the following day (Friday) I had to water my potted
black fig tree that I had left outside through the storm as I figured
its size and weight would keep it from harm.
