Hurricane Milton

[TashaBird]

Please hold the vision of ✨safety and protection✨ for my family a few miles outside of Tampa. They're boarded up and hunkered down, and I think they're safe. My SIL is a paramedic who will be on shift though, so that's a bit scary. Does anyone else here have family in the path of this hurricane?

We do, they've wisely packed and evacuated. This is so terrifying for so many and my heart and prayers go out to all.

I have friends there. One lost everything in Helene. I hope she is spared more flooding. She is north of Tampa and right now looks to be okay.

I don't know why anyone would hunker down for this Hurricane. It's going to hit like a freight train. I live near New Orleans but don't have family or friends in Florida. We evacuate at cat 3 no matter what. Only people that live in these areas would understand having to prepare every year for a possible evac or worse.

Well, my family is relatively ok. Lost some screen, some fence, and the pressure and wind pulled a few of the boards off the windows that they'd nailed on. The road in front of their house got so much water under that a truck made it crack. They've got no power yet, eating what they can, playing card games, kids are going a bit bonkers, going to start grilling stuff in the freezer tomorrow.

I don't know how you're doing it. The stories we've been hearing on the news are pretty bad. I'm glad you're all ok though.
