We rode out hurricane Rita the Eye went right past Us. 42 trees down on our two acre yard, $45,000+ in damages to house and shop, the county had to reopen the roads with a D-6 dozer. 24x40 open carport made of 4" I-Beams totally demolished grade 5 and 8 bolts sheared with bolt heads flying around like bullets. Now for the odd part.

A picnic table with a open nylon umbrella was undamaged with the umbrella still open and still in the exact same spot.
The 36x50 barn had 1 sheet of nailed on tin missing. Our three horses rode it out without a scratch.

The awesome power of that 12 hours was amazing.
