Well, after being a homeowner for a little over two years, I finally got to make use of my insurance policy today! I filed a claim for damage to my fence and roof due to the strong winds over the weekend. Yesterday my neighbor and I had to prop up the fence with tree stakes and poles. Then this morning as I drove out of my driveway, I realized the east side of my roof is missing about 1/3 of the shingles, and they are piled on the other side of the roof! I sure hope it doesn't rain before I get someone out to fix the roof. I may have to get up there and attach a tarp somehow. I've never been on a roof before. Should be interesting. If you have any pictures or stories of wind damage to your home, click over to www.bakersfield.com/yourwords and post them by clicking "Submit an article." We may choose to run photos and/or stories in The Bakersfield Californian. I hope you all didn't suffer too much damage. Maybe my house got the worst of it!
