Hurricane/tropical storm Irene is finished and LCC came through well.
The crew began cleaning up the debris on the courts, walkways and parking lot at 5 am.
Damage included the windscreen between the first two rows of clay courts, a tree limb falling on the fence and route 9 courts and massive wash- outs on clay courts 1, 2 and 3.
By 11 am most of the debris was picked up (thanks for your help Larry and Magnus!), the torn windscreen taken down (it will be replaced by next week), the tree limb cut and removed, the courts repaired and the USTA 85 and 90 championships have begun. Great work by the LCC grounds crew!

Thanks for the great efforts guys - I witnessed the superhuman efforts from Larry and Magnus and the .. let's call them regular efforts from Tim and Jeff. I think it is amazing that the club was back in operation so quickly despite the lassitudinous attitude displayed by some staff members.
Only joking, of course,and I don't think that lassitudinous is an actual word.
Kudos to everyone .. and, much to my surprise, the pool was back in operation.
Of highest concern, of course, was the beer cooler. Would it make it through the storm? Higher powers were at work, and the beer cooler was cold and able to provide refreshment and some comfort after my hard fought loss today in a 8-6 tiebreaker. Dr.Jen assuaged my sorrows with a kind word and a cold one .....
Pax Vobiscum.
Thanks John for your kind words. I worked so hard that I was sweating.
Magnus
