Great stuff AR 
We lived through a 'tempete' a couple of years ago in October, it looked like the roof was gonna disappear and the walls, roof and woodwork were creaking violently and shaking, being the walls are 2' plus thick stone it seems impossible, but true. As you know, a 'tempete' is basically a hurricane with lots of rain and thunderstorms and sometimes cyclones, I thought the house was gonna fall apart, it lasted for 6+ hours.
Unfortunately it happens often here, it's the price for living on top of the hill also.

So we and most everyone in GA did just fine in the storm. Lost 2 Apple trees and 1 peach tree so my summer fruit production just took a crap... Spent all day Tuesday with a chain saw or hand saw chopping them up.
Plus side I have enough firewood to heat my house for the winter I think.
