So what kind of damage did everyone see from this latest storm?

I lost my 10 meter beam, FM broadcast yagi, 6 meter vertical and I took down the radio shack scanner antenna because it was endangering the 2/440 Vertical. I can replace it later.
 
Luckily when 4' tripod blew over it landed against the pine tree branches, which acted as a cushion. The only antenna that is probably destroyed is the FM Yagi. Everything else I managed to salvage and should be able to re-mount at some point.

I almost blew off the roof when I went up to untangle everything! I probably should have waited till after the storm but I wanted to minimize the damage and get everything takien apart before it fell down completely. Bob you will be amused to know that the ladder blew down while I was on the roof, so I had to wait for my dad to come home. Luckily he only went out to get the paper.

What a pain in the ass!
