Tropical Storm Beryl hammered through NE Florida last night with wind gusts up to 70mph and sustained winds of 55mph along with heavy rain.
I was worried but I'm happy to report that my Tower Garden made it through the storm!
It's bedraggled and water-logged but as soon as the sun comes through, it should perk up.
The tomatoes are most affected, mostly because I had not added additional cages for support. The two-week old seedlings look good - and of course, this is a view through the rain!
I'm assuming the 20-gallon reservoir is what kept the Tower standing as it is in an open area and unprotected.

The neighbor was not so fortunate!
I heard a heavy bang! last night as the storm was in full swing, looked outside with a flashlight but saw nothing.
This morning, I see the cause of the Big Bang - a large limb from an ancient oak that couldn't withstand the wind.
It's hard to tell from the photo that this tree limb stretches a good 12-15 feet in length. You can see that it dwarfs the shed. That big bundle of vine is likely what weakened the tree.
