[aa battery]

Although I'm probably the last person on this planet you would even consider taking advise from, I'll give you some anyway

Remember, do not use parts of the house, or furniture to keep that fire going

Unfortunately you'll just have to ride out Mother Natures little tantrum... Good luck

Well, since you're open to suggestions here's another one

If your roof gets really bad, you may want to consider installing a skylight instead of a full roof repair

This way you get get natural sunlight and use the sun for heating. That will reduce your electric bill

Re: wind,no power and fire

sorry to hear you got hit so hard. hope you have insurance with a co. that won't argue with you. we had an "inland hurricane" a few yrs back & lots of people had to fight cuz they weren't insured for hurricanes. (SE MO. is not prone to hurricanes)
stay safe. glad you all made it through.

we got strong winds up here too aa. A guy I work with had his street blocked by a downed tree. It wasn't as bad as you had it though. I heard LA had 93 mph winds. Funny part is, it wasn't a storm, no clouds at all, just strong wind.

Super AA be careful with that fire if you haven't cleaned the flue in a while....I've seen chimney fires....not nice. Keep a great big box of baking soda and a fire extinguisher near by that you can easily get to. That much wind can push any sparks right back on top of your roof so I hope you have a good screen on your chimney. Hope they fix your power soon.

thanks for the advice
