Which one of you did this to my piers? That was one piece.

 

[jagee]

Wasn't me.

Extremely sore and a headache. Thanks for asking

Watch that headache, you start having any blurred vision or dizziness, get to the ER.

20 years ago I had a cousin die from an accident like that.

What caused that??

I know the signs. Sensitivity to lights, nausea and what you said. Headache is a dull one and I think part of that is sinus related.

Remember, alcohol intensifies effects.

1 shot of vodka with every pain pill will make it all better!

What caused that??

Sustained 30mph winds with 50mph gusts. All afternoon yesterday and in the early evening. We had other piers damaged but nothing like this one.

It could be the meds I'm taking. One side effect is headaches. Go figure....

Huh, it should have stood that. Is the wood framing really old & rotted??

Almost looked like it split at where the boards on the sides come together

Nope. If you saw the waves that wear beating it you would understand. The entire pier raising above water, then under water with a twisting motion. the twisting did it in. Our lake gets violent with those winds. We also now know the stress point of the pier.

You weren't to far off. Weakest point kind of thing.
