Looking at it now i can't understand how they survived. Looks like they slid inwards instead of crashing forward onto the concrete and they all supported each other.<br /><br />Hi Sally, I knew you would truly understand, i was so proud of my Bonsai stand.<br /><br />Thanks Marty and Gina, yup hubby will be on the job..but not this year! he already had plans..but not soon enough!<br />Hope your sister enjoyed the trip despite the weather, seems Cork and Galway got hit the worst, flooding everywhere...and it's still raining!<br /><br />Hi Maureen, we have to rebuild in the same place so that we can enjoy it from the house.Tatskoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282750261031558615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-89304220653845684002009-11-19T22:57:17.812+00:002009-11-19T22:57:17.812+00:00Storms are so frightening - what a disaster, and I...Storms are so frightening - what a disaster, and I can imagine how you must have felt, but then to experience the huge relief when you found your favourite tree had survived - that would have taken it out of you too!<br />You will have to rebuild the stand somewhere, with protective screens or something - lol, make it cyclone proof!<br />We had a cyclone last year, and a very old and very tall gum tree fell though our neighbour's roof - that was awful, and I was SO glad to move to the new estate where there are no trees taller than your house. New houses here are built to withstand small cyclones.Something to do with roof trusses, I think.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-25064411848732252102009-11-19T21:51:33.472+00:002009-11-19T21:51:33.472+00:00I know you are blessed and you will create somethi...I know you are blessed and you will create something even more wonderful, even though it felt sickening at first blow.<br /><br />hmmm....I wonder how my sister & everyone is coping with this weather? They should be back tomorrow I think - maybe tonight, now that I think about it. We have plans on Saturday so I'll get to hear all about it!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954817887445182373.post-91691589400152338052009-11-19T21:19:35.090+00:002009-11-19T21:19:35.090+00:00What a mess -- and how sad!

I'm sooo sorry, truly. The plants are beautifully trained. They are heartier than they would seem. <br />I can't wait to see the new, improved structure.<br />We have storms like this, but since the deer eat ALL plants (and my succulents are 'inside') all it did was blow pieces of the roof off (why we are getting a new, metal roof!) Living on the ridge we either have and updraft of strong winds from the south or a down draft of northern gales. My heart is with you.

One of them broke today and at least 2 more that were on the table survived...well made!! Oh how I loved pottery and wished I had my own kiln.Tatskoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282750261031558615noreply@blogger.com
