Dad made plywood to protect sliding patio doors. They evacuated twice I think. I'm their only kiddo and I freaked every time. They never got flooded.

We do know former resident friends there and I am stressed for them.

Even tho not affected, still and all, yes, affected by a downcast and disturbed soul for those who are facing this still unknown storm.

Lord, have great mercy!

For some 'reason' it was not challenged/contended and mb we should not know. Vile. The FLA judges picking the 'winner'. Yah, winner alright.

I'm in northern broward county close to palm beach county. Although most models have the center north of Broward, it is still very nerve-racking. Especially since the path is so uncertain. We are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.

I had impact windows and doors installed after Irma. Just so relieved I don’t have to scramble for help putting up shutters.

Believing for substantial weakening, lessening of severity, quick dissipation.

Be safe....💛
