He said that he had a bunch of oak trees and every time one of the comes along he looses some oak trees.  In addition to some oaks - he also lost a pecan tree or two - loaded with pecans.  You could hear the chain saws running in the background.  Fortunately no structural damage anywhere.

    Paul told me a couple of days ago that he had no damage to any of his properties, which is why I noted it in one of my posts, but being from hurricane country myself, trees and flooding don't normally figure in, which is probably why he said what he did.

    Added:  Let me clarify the flooding part of my post:  I knew that Paul's main residence was not on the coast, and for such places flooding is not normally a problem.
    What's next?

    While not directly on the coast his primary residence is just off an estuary my Grandfather and I used to fish all the time.  Many of the oaks up in there are well over 100 yrs old.   Beautiful spot.   I think my Dad's pecans are still standing but pretty sure all the nuts are miles away!
