Go sit under the old palm tree with anyone else but me.

Even an experienced mariner like Captain F.R. Ogg could not deal with last nights storm.

Capt. FR Ogg

It was not demon rum, this time

We have been through worse winds (30 mph gust) but not rain as it could not have rained any harder. With the Gulf of Mexico only about 10 miles away Mother Nature did not have to go far to fill the bucket she was pouring on our RV. It all proved to be an effective way to trim the palm trees.

This photo only shows a small amount of "shedding" from the palms. What to note is that the break point of the stem might create a "point" sharp enough to do damage to the human, or even inhuman body. Even without a point, two or three pounds of leaves in a bunch would be uncomfortable falling from even a modest height.
