Ok, I did have structural damage: my observatory. I built it on piers made from cut-up telephone poles, 2x12 joists and 2x4 decking. All treated lumber and screwed together. I built a roll-off enclosure for me telescopes and pier mount. It is treated studs and treated 3/8 inch treated plywood wrapped in roofing felt and clawed with corrugated steel. It runs on angle iron tracks with vee wheels. I tied it down with 1” nylon rope to 3/8” shackles screwed into the deck. The deck was unaffected. The pier is 5’ of 8” steel pipe set in 7 bags of concrete. The pier is unaffected.

My screws were pulled out on one side and the door ripped off from repeatedly bashing the pier and mount. We had over 6” of rain in six hours. Dunno if the mount and 8” SCT were damaged. The 10” Newtonian looks ok. I’m waiting several days for drying. also the corrugated steel was ripped off the roof.

Experience is a hard teacher.

I’m gonna bolt the shackles down with huge washers. I’m putting more screws into the roof. And I’m hoping no more hurricanes!
