I had posted an image of this tree previously. I had speculated the loss of foliage was a result of Hurricane Irma. The regrowth would suggest that was right. Click on the image for a larger view.

The Aftermath of Irma
Hurricane Irma swept through Florida on September 10th and 11th. It was a devastating storm that people are still recovering from. This was taken this evening near the St. John River in Brevard county, nearly a month after Irma passed through. Click on the image for a larger view.

After Irma
Hurricane Irma has passed. We were very fortunate not to have sustained any major damage, not everyone in Florida and the Caribbean were so lucky. Irma was only a category 2 storm when it reached us, with sustained winds of around 80 mph. While there may not be much obvious damage, the storm makes significant impact to the environment. Compare the tree in front of our house today with its condition just before Irma arrived yesterday. Notice the loss of foliage in the canopy. Click on the image for a larger view.

Waiting for Irma
Naomi and I are waiting for Hurricane Irma. The hurricane force winds are expected to arrive within the hour and last for the next twenty four. We have had tornado warnings for most of the day. We are expect to lose power. The weather has certainly been exciting since arriving in Florida. We wish everyone well as this storm passes. Click on the image for a larger view.
