Default Holy pot shards, Batman!

Wow! We had a storm come through here about an hour and a half ago. Sheets
of water like waves in Mexico washing over Phals, galvanized pipe came down,
and the orchids with it, Vandas in the pool, including that big Ascocentrum
curvifolium that some of you may recall. Benches cleared in the lanai.

Had to be a small twister. Picked up as much as possible (everything is off
the ground) and will make repairs tomorrow AM. Broken pots, broken pbulbs,
broken sheaths. At one point we actually went into the laundry room with the
cat for a minute or so, because it's the most interior room with no glass.
An area with no glass is hard to find in our house.

What a mess. So much for repotting tomorrow.
