Result of a tornado last night here in Punta Gorda. Not a lot of damage around us other then trees down some of which littered in the canal and outdoor furniture broken. Could have been a lot worse....
Pulpit + Piling + Tornado =

- Start date
We've been soooo lucky when it comes to tornadoes here in Oz. The boatyard is at the mercy of the weather. With all of the nearby grass fires, I wish we were in the water!
Are you in one of the canals? Or in one of the marinas. Doesn't look like Laishley. Sorry for the damage
We're on a canal about 12 homes from the harbor in Punta Gorda... The old sailboat section... Here some more pictures.
Now after the Progressive thread.. I can't wait to see how Progressive responds..... -Jon

Outside! Also here is picture showing something I've never seen before... The leaf was flying so fast that it wrapped around and impaled itself.
Sounds like something from a bad CGI action film.... mother nature can be a tough lady sometimes.
Reason I asked is I have a friend in Punta Gorda, who keeps his Morgan 30 Whimsey on a lift there, in one of the canals
While I don't know him, I'm sure he loves it hear. IMHO, It's one of the best sailing communities around!
Talked to him earlier No damage at his place. And yes, he loves it there and sails OFTEN
RGranger.... Your right about one tough lady!
Charlie... Glad to hear Tom was spared.
Sailm8... I'm assuming you were spared too..... Great post... I'll read it later today.
Dalliance.... I called the Progressive Monday Morning the claims person called me around noon time. Their Boating expert showed up early Tuesday afternoon and provided initial estimates for both boats and said a check would be in the mail. He indicated that his initial estimate were only a starting point in order to get the ball rolling. If there are any changes, I should have the person/company doing the work give him a call and he would make up any difference directly with them. I believe he was off by about 25%. However, so far I am very pleased with Progressive response! The other big plus was the diminishing deductible. After so many years with them, this claim has a 0 deductible. We'll see how it concludes.

That is good to know Jon. We have the same insurer. Have never had to make a claim yet. Knock on wood.
