My daughter's home in St Augustine is 4 miles from the beach. Post hurricane survey revealed she will need to remove 1 tree which is leaning towards the house. No other issues. The southern tier of the east coast was lucky in that the hurricane remained out at sea as long as it did. However, there was still more then enough damage and life lost due to wind and water damage. There will be plenty of "lessons learned" from this storm.The evacuations were well warranted, had the storm run just 10 miles closer to the coast, we'd be looking at a whole new dynamic.
