5. It was not a hurricane when it hit here in Jax, but it did have winds up to 75 mph.

It is scary being in a 75 mph storm when you live in an old growth oak forest. We've had 5 trees taken down, but have 2 that are damaged and dangerous. We couldn't afford to get them taken down this year, 2 others were far worse and 2 trees had to be severely pruned. These are very large Laurel Oaks. I just pray the storm doesn't hit us hard because we aren't totally safe until we get those trees removed. Jacksonville is probably the safest place in FL to live near the coast, so we do have history on our side.
