Bonsai lamentation

[Cajunrider]

Without any wiring, my trees all got twisted. Some got barerooted. Some uprooted. A lot no where to be found. When Laura brought 150 mph to my place and my house is right on the NE side of the eyeball, nothing stood a chance.

I'm in clean up and insurance mode. Can't take care of a few trees I have left. Electricity will be out for weeks if not months. Electric companies are saying this requires a total grid rebuild.

I can lament about lost roof, walls, and windows elsewhere. I'm here to lament on my trees.

That’s aweful!

I’m so sorry to hear ...

(I’ll keep it on TREES, as that seems to be your preference)

My thoughts/meditations/“prayers” are with you...

It's very sad to hear that.
I hope you don't lose the enthusiasm for bonsai in the long run. You can have better and more beautiful trees in the future, I am sure of it.

I am glad you are safe, but so sorry to hear about your losses. Sounds like you have a long haul in front of you, I wish you strength in the labors to come.

I can't imagine the nightmare you are going through, so sorry.

 

[Cajunrider]

And now we go from trying to save trees to trying to find another place to live.

What an ordeal you are going thru. I hope that your insurance agents and the people you are working with are good people, it can make all the difference. Wishing you well.

My heart goes out to you and yours. I've had family in similar situations over the years along the Gulf Coast. Rita cleaved my aunt's home of 55 years in Beaumont in half by dropping a huge live oak on the roof. Wind took what was left. She moved to Houston after that.

Bright side (and there is one), things get better. Sounds Pollyanna, but it's true.

Good luck and may God watch over you.

I am so sorry for your losses, and there is another hurricane heading close.
