Yeah, that's a big hurricane heading this way, isn't it? Damn you, Milton.
Mom and I head for the east coast tomorrow: after much (much, much) searching, I found a room there to take us and our furry friend. We're supposed to get 4 to 7 feet of storm surge, and I'm just not confident the power won't go out. No, thank you!
I haven't given up all hope of my trip this weekend; I changed my flights from Thursday to Friday, and my fingers remain crossed.
If you are the praying kind, we would appreciate prayers that it passes quickly and doesn't do too much damage. And that we don't get any more this hurricane season!
Sending prayers your way. This hurricane season has been freakish! My sister in law is in Tampa, and according to my husband staying put. I would have thought after riding out Irma she would have learned her lesson; but here we are.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We're fine where we are, but of course worrying about home. I'm really glad we left.
DeleteI'm glad you found a place--that's a relief at least. Stupid hurricanes!
ReplyDeleteI left it too late--not so late that I didn't find a room, obviously, but it took a few hours and was VERY stressful.
DeleteI *am* the praying kind and praying for you and other friends I know in Florida. What a horrible time for Floridians; I hope the storm miraculously calms down, but I'm glad you and your mother are able to get away to a safer spot. That seems very wise.
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is such a crazy storm. Very scary, even when we aren't in the strike zone.
DeletePrayer immediately offered up, with more to come. So glad you're being careful and that you found a place. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, good luck, C! Hope you're okay.
ReplyDeleteSo far! But what a week.
DeleteI've been thinking of you and your mom and your sweet kitty. You're smart to evacuate to safer ground. Thanks for checking in with us.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad we left. Some of our neighbors stayed and I hope it isn't too scary for them.
DeleteI hope things are okay for you and your mom. Fingers crossed it's not as bad as people are saying it will be.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking crazy!
DeleteIt's good to know you, your mother & Maggie have found a safe place. May your evacuation be short.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThinking of you and your family and sending safe vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteAppreciate it! What a month this week has felt like.
DeleteSending all the good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The whole state can use them.
