Brutal. And always sad to see.

That's pretty bad, Todd.

I experienced a smaller version of that here.  I noticed that a number of your trees were just broken off at the trunk.  I had a couple of very tall pines with trunks probably about a foot and a half in diameter just snapped off about 5 - 6 feet from the ground.  In previous hurricanes, it seemed that most tended to just be uprooted due to the shallow root base (lots of bedrock in my area).  These ones that snapped off had to have been standing for around 100 years (haven't counted the rings), and now suddenly they're gone.  It's interesting in that each storm seems to produce unique damage due to the severity and direction of the winds (and probably the frequency of gusts, etc.).  I noticed that unlike previous hurricanes that tend to have more constant, sustained winds, this one had some really sudden large gusts of winds with lots of calmish lulls in between.

I noticed your solar panels seemed to have survived well.  Did they help offset your generator usage?

I didn't realize that it worked that way.  I thought maybe you could just flip a switch and use the 'real time' power that the panels would be producing during the day... though when I think about it you would have to be able to maintain a relatively constant 120V 60Hz to run household appliances, so you would have to have some sort of inverter set-up (which I honestly assumed would be standard equipment for solar set-ups).  Might be a worthwhile investment, though, if this is what our weather is going to be for the future... plus it sounds pretty enticing to actually be able to live "off the grid"... It sure would save having to depend upon the availability of gasoline for sustained power outage/infrastructure damage situations.

I don't recall what the max wind gusts were here, but I'm sure they were less than what your area received (other members here probably know).  We surely didn't have any mini-tornado action that I'm aware of.
