Dude... Where's my fence?

We're kind of hunkering down for the next day or so. This nor'easter is pounding Virginia Beach right now, canceling schools today and causing problems on the roads and some damage to our homes. By noon yesterday, part of my fence had blown down, and during the course of the day today, I lost two screen doors, and a portion of siding from the back of my house blew off (it's been recovered!).

Thank God I had those dead trees yanked out of here a couple of weeks ago!

I have posted some pictures on Facebook, but I'll go ahead and share them here as well.

You can see both screen doors smashed up from the wind. The one on the far end had actually been latched shut, but a chair blew into it and smashed it.
The other door just got blown so hard by the wind that it broke apart.
David pulled the chair out of this door before I got home.
In the background you can see the two sections of the fence that blew over.

Dude... where's my fence?
Here's one of the trees I had cut down a couple of weeks ago,
when the fence was intact!
I just got the call that schools will be closed again tomorrow due to the weather. We're being warned that there's more heavy wind and rain expected tonight, with an additional 3-5" of rain falling before midnight. I'm hoping the power stays on and that our neighborhood roads don't become too flooded.

The winds are expected to die down during the day tomorrow, with showers off and on all day.

We're safe and sound, thank God. Thank you for keeping us, and our friends and neighbors in your prayers.
