This could be the very worst hurricane ever to hit the Atlantic/Gulf of Mexico.
My parents live in SW Florida on the coast. They are evacuating tomorrow morning. Would you please all keep them in your thoughts? They are 85 and 79, and not in the best of health as those close to me know.
Gawd, where is the GOOD news???  |

Thanks, everyone!
They leave this morning for St Augustine, which is pretty close to the FL/GA border.
You all are the bestest, I swear. |

I think by late Saturday, early Sunday morning.
My parents only booked til Sunday a.m. And the hotel they are staying at has no vacancies for Sunday night 'cause all the people are evacuating.
Scary.
Between the bird flu and all these natural disasters, it makes you wonder what the hell is going on. |
