Those of you who were at Hukilau will hopefully remember them.They had damage to their house, which was right on the water. UPDATED 11/15: From what I saw today, they lost some barrel tiles, which is fairly standard for any house in a hurricane. Other standard damage like foliage. What was unfortunate is they had water damage through the ceiling from where the roof was weakened. Water was also coming under their sliding glass doors facing the water. A few doors came off their hinges on the upstairs level, leaving water to come down stairs. Quite a tale... and that was just the hurricane. The severely uncomfortable part is they were partly trapped in the development due to downed foliage. They were indeed unprepared to go without food and all utilities for almost 2 weeks. Certainly a lesson for all us susceptible to natural disasters. Their fine now. The roof over the store finally decided that it couldn't handle anymore patches. There was some water damage to paintings, but it could have been lots worse. Another story. Another lesson. Lots to think about. [ Edited by: I dream of tiki 2005-11-15 19:40 ]
