Default Holy pot shards, Batman!

What a crying shame! If it's not one thing it's another.
Well no doubt you two will get a work out tomorrow.
Cheers Wendy

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.
