The wind picked up early in the morning. As a direct result of the increased winds, all the trees were bowing down.  Peak winds of 20-30 miles per hour and gusts up to 50 miles per hour in St Lucie County inland area were reported at approximately 5:00 am, 9/29/2022

It was a mess in our back yard.

We started the cleanup of the tree branches, banana trees, cabbage tree branches and eureka branches.  The branches were even on the street so, they were also picked up. Maybe we should just cut down some of the trees before the next storm.

Some of the tree branches could be chopped using a woodchipper.  It will take a couple of more days to complete cleanup work

As 5:00 pm, 9/29/2022, Ian is once again a Hurricane from winding down to a tropical storm as it went over Orlando, once it crossed into the Atlantic, the winds increased to hurricane force and was focus on a different state..
