Water will help vegetation. The wind damage will create lots of job opportunities for our nation's construction workers and scam artists (but I repeat myself).

Are these storms way more common this year or am I just paying more attention?

Will the Miami Hurricanes have to change their name? I find it highly insensitive.

Where angels fear to tread...Interesting factoid...American Indians are very hard to sunburn. They usually just tan a little darker.

My sister (Gainesville PD) said they’ve opened up the shoulders of I-75 northbound and it’s bumper to bumper.

Maybe they should also open the south lanes to go north. (At least a couple of lanes)

I'm back in VA.
No tolls on the way to the airport today thanks to the Governor. He says no tolls during a hurricane or while everyone is running away. We had rain the last 2 days, I'm not sure if it was connected to the hurricane, I don't think so.
My daughter is leaving a day ahead of schedule, tomorrow. She should just make it.

I wonder how these types of neighborhoods will fare. 3-feet above sea level, nearly all surrounded by canals of water already. Exposed to the gulf. Like Siesta Key, FL or Cape Coral, FL, seen below.

Well that is good. My aunt lives in Venice, FL and her place is 13-feet above sea level. She left for Atlanta, but her husband is riding out the storm. They said they handled Hurricane Ian 2 years ago fine.

We have a board member in Clearwater who is visiting family in Ohio. Her much older husband (he’s maybe 82 she’s maybe 65) is in their house in Clearwater with no plans to evacuate. At least it’s in ‘zone c’ with no mandatory evacuation.

My folks are outside Sarasota. Going to try to call this afternoon to see how they're doing.
