Well, this wind wasn't called Mariah, it was called Dolly and though we were spared a Catagory 3, the Catagory 2 that Dolly was was bad enough.  Lots of trees down including this one in front of our townhome, some water blown in under the eaves, one picture knocked off the wall for some reason.  As I drove around town looking at some of the damage, I noticed brick fences down, 4x4 posts snapped in two, trees down all over the place, some houses with no shingles at all, some with a  missing shingles (thank goodness our roof is heavy concrete tile).  I noticed one "Hurricane Fence" down, don't know how that happened unless something slammed into it.  But despite everything blown down, I noticed that an awful lot of tall cactus plants still standing including the ones on my patio.  Trees down, branches broken, cacti still standing proud.  Amazing.

An awful lot of you sent prayers our way knowing Dolly was bearing down, and for that I thank you!
