Thanks for your concern. We are fine. Fortunately for us we didn't get hit by a hurricane. Keys and SW coast did. While the weather channel likes to show storm the size of FL it's only the 30 - 40 mile diameter from the center that's really bad and the fwd / right quadrant that super bad. The rest of us get a nasty windstorm (50-60 Gusting to 80) and the fun of playing "Tornado Roulette". All the Keys between Marathon and Cudjoe got devastated. Landfall at Naples / Marco Island and on up to Fort Meyers also devastated. Not much info coming out of those areas yet. Not a good sign. I'm sure the death toll is going to rise significantly. As for these bozos that want to get back to their houses / businesses in the middle / southern Keys they haven't realized the health risks involved. The islands are literally strewn with raw sewage from the septic systems and until that gets cleaned up and what's left of the sewage system is up and running you risk an outbreak of disease. Possibly Cholera. Look what happened in Haiti. Now we just want to make it to November without another one.
