Just had our insurance adjuster look at our back yard and found out why we may not get a penny on hurricane damage because the damage to the yard damaged our yard not a neigbor’s yard. Here’s a picture of what happened in the Dougherty Garden from Hurricane Irma on September 10, 2017.
Short Video of Strong Winds of Hurricane Irma
Front of house littered with Cabbage palm tree leaves
Broken palm leaves
More palm leaves in the back yard
Here is the Coconut palm tree that my neighbor said was almost touching the fence from the strong winds of Hurrican Irma and is permanently bent.
A closer look at the littered back yard
The front of the house thick with leaves
More Cabbage palm tree leaves near the kitchen window
At least the air conditioning was working with only a temporary electric stop.
At least the garbage receptacles stayed tied to the Areca palm tree
The palm tree in the middle is that of a Cuban Royal palm tree thatf ell victiim to the strong winds of Hurrican Irma
My Reclinata, Washingtonia and Solitaire palm trees held their own leaves in Hurricane Irma
The Bismarckia palm tree in the middle was to the right a bit since the heavy winds
Here is the base of the Coconut palm tree that was sheared at its base from the strong winds. I tried to move this trunk but was unable to move it.
Top portion of teh felled Coconut palm tree with most of the palm fronds removed. It’s so heavy that you literally can’t move this.
The tree directly in front is that of a Grewia tree has yellow flowers that was pulled out of the ground with its roots still tied to the ground
Another view of the Grewia plant still hanging onto one root.
This is the preserve behind my house that fell victim to the strong winds of hurricane iram and snappin goff thsi madagascar tree in the middle and pulling all green growth into the preserve in the direction that the winds were blowing.
This is my Jamaica Tall Coconut palm tree that was forced a little more towards the direction that the winds were blowing.
