This video is from Saturday, but power has been intermittent here at best. This is around 10 am after Ike had passed over (for the most part). It shows some of the damage & strangeness in Beaumont, TX.

The Sycamore
I am apparently obsessed with this sycamore tree. I found out it is used in guitar veneers, furniture, butchers blocks, and flooring. I think I may try to get this machined into usable pieces.
I am figuring I can make cabinets to replace the ones I lost, a dresser for my bedroom, a matching four poster bed, and perhaps even hardwood floor to make up for the floor I will inevitably have to replace. I may continue this blog as recovery continues. Its not just a quick thing.
I got the tree off my kitchen with help from the good people at Coastal Pools and my neighbor. Its amazing what a tractor and a Stihl chainsaw can do to a huge oak tree in just a few short hours.
Here is an image of the moon Tuesday night.
