Old Ivan dumped 19 1/2" on me in less than 12 hours time.......Once he
got here I never thought he was gonna leave. I only suffered minor
damges to house and out buildings but have close to 2 dozen trees that
are gonna have to come down, and thats not counting the ones he took
down fully, The ones remaining are all 100+ foot tall long leaf pines
and oaks. The pines have ost of the limbs and tops busted out of them,
and the oaks are all leaning pretty bad, I have sandy soil so its not
gonna take much more for them to fall on their own..so they have to
come down.
