Hopefully this hotspot holds up. First things first, we are surrounded by the grace of a loving God, and we are thankful.
To begin updating day #2 on the ground in Southwest Florida (SWFL) allow me to please remind everyone to take these storms seriously and take all the advanced preparations needed to protect yourself and your family. You can never overprepare. Additionally, if you did evacuate from the area, stay where you are. There’s no need to come back into the recovery zone and there are virtually no utilities (electricity, water) operating in most areas.
Working today with a search and recovery team from Fort Walton Beach, Florida, there are multiple agencies from around the Southeast sending resources. We are incredibly grateful, and every resource is a blessing.
Day 2, while efforts continue, there are parts of the barrier islands (Sanibel, Pine Island, Matlacha and Fort Myers Beach) that are still inaccessible by anything other than air. There is an evacuation ferry operation running every 90 minutes from Sanibel (West side of where causeway used to be) to pull people from the island. 10am – 5pm
Matlacha (North end of Pine Island) is also a boat rescue operation after the bridge failed.
Incredibly, the historic Sanibel Lighthouse did survive the storm albeit with damage. The lightkeepers house is gone as are all the buildings around the Southern tip of the Island, but the Lighthouse is standing. There’s a metaphor and a message in that outcome.
Unfortunately, there are many people missing, and frantic out of state families looking for their loved ones. Hopefully, those missing were just last-minute evacuees that don’t know people are looking for them, and/or people with no way to communicate their status. Local radio stations are broadcasting names and addresses of missing persons in the hope that people can call in with information. This is why a communication plan is so critical for anyone in an extreme weather impact zone.
Search and rescue units are still working throughout Southwest Florida by air, boat and house-to-house searches. Some power and some water services have returned to the Eastern side of the impact zone, but as you go west (toward the coast) the power and water services are in much worse shape. [Tip: This is why garbage cans full of water are a part of the proactive planning. You can hydrate with bottled water, but you cannot clean without a stored potable water supply.]
The origination and transfer stations for electricity have been hit hard. There is no reason for linemen and pole diggers to be in the western zones because there is no infrastructure to trigger the origination of electricity. That’s why power will return in a systematic way from East (inland) to West (coastal). The thousands of power company employees are working on eastern impact areas where their efforts can restore power, while the longer engineering work of rebuilding transfer stations is happening in the west. Power will likely be out for several weeks in multiple areas.
Debris removal is about 50% throughout the zone. By ‘removal‘ I mean temporarily moved, shoved, pulled, cut or sawed out of the way. Again, the further West the more debris remains. Main roads are cleared, but local roads are blocked throughout. Stay close to home if you don’t need to travel or secure critical supplies.
Some food retailers have begun limited operation to open for the community. This will continue improving each day. Publix Supermarkets have generators running primary store functions.
There are nighttime curfews in affect throughout the Southwest Florida impact zone.
Fuel is a major problem, in part driven by the absence of power. A gas station without power is just a big underground gas tank. Most recovery teams are traveling with their own fuel supply.
Unfortunately, the heavy rains from north Florida are still flowing downstream into rivers and the flooding inland continues. The Peace River is expected to rise to a historic 24 ft above flood level; the previous record was just over 20 ft. Additionally, the current Myakka River flood has caused I-75 to close from North Port to Englewood.
Evacuations along the increasingly flooded inland waterways continue. Ian will be known as a storm carrying the deadly combination of wind and water as a storm event. Wind damage extreme, storm surge extreme, and river flooding (rain) extreme.
Janet, a 40-year-old single mom in a wheelchair, who just moved to SWFL a week ago, stranded on the second floor of her apartment building without power and without a community of friends to call for assistance. Her story is typical. Delivering food and supplies to people like Janet is a relief service anyone can handle. Radio networks are doing a great job using their format to organize local person to person assistance. Listeners are responding to each request; it is inspiring to see/hear the community pulling together. Fellowship lives here.
Alice, a 75-year-old woman without cash, and the only gas station she can find will only accept cash. Within seconds she is in line at the station with cash in her hand. This is what people do. Define living and you will find the light left by these comfortably invisible community stars. These are ordinary angels that defeat the looters by orders of magnitude.
There are many Janet’s and Alice’s right now, and fortunately there are overwhelming numbers of people responding to each call.
Yes, this is the fellowship part. Sweaty, perhaps a little scruffy, often accompanied by the smell of fuel-oil mix in the hug, but when you remove all class distinctions the remarkable human spirit that surfaces makes the back pain and callouses insignificant.
Electricity is nice, potable water even better, but perhaps fellowship is the most important part of the restoration process. At least, I think it is.
The desperation and worry on that unknown face tell me that you need my spot in line; here, take it.
I am not alone.
Every person reading this knows exactly what I am talking about without me even writing another word.
Life.
The best part.
Many people ponder the great universal questions of “why” these disaster events happen. I don’t have any idea.
Perhaps it’s just the way I’m wired, but I can only look at the immediate task at hand. Usually, I’m too busy focused on making the next two feet of my immediate surroundings better, because looking at the hundreds of miles scares me. If I can make these next two feet in front of me better, then I will have accomplished something; and then – another two – and another two. Perhaps that’s my goofy way to deal with it.
However, when I think about fellowship and my community – perhaps we shouldn’t wait for hurricanes.
Love to all,
Sundance
“However, when I think about fellowship and my community – perhaps we shouldn’t wait for hurricanes.” So, true. I will keep you, your family, and all those devastated by this horrible hurricane in my prayers.
“If I can make these next two feet in front of me better, then I will have accomplished something; and then – another two – and another two.”
A strategy for the weak to become strong.
And a strategy for the strong to save the world.
Wisdom.
and the motto of a “fixer”–we thank God for ppl like you.
the world has already been saved, all we have to do is claim it in the name of Jesus.
Indeed. One manageable task at a time. But ALWAYS … keep moving forward. Make progress every day. But not the kind of progress made by the so-called “progressives” … that’s not progress … that’s delusion.
YES–One minute, one hour, one day at a time.
Sometimes when things get out of control, its not a matter of fixing it all but doing it piece by piece. If you set you goal/s too high and fail, you might not try again.
For the person who was/is sick or depressed letting things in the house go, pick one small place/chore to do. If you do more fine, but if not you can pat yourself on the back that you accomplishing your one small goal.
So often when goals are too high, and we fail then we give up.
Remember one step, one minute at a time.
No one is perfect, not me for sure. Only one perfect person walked the earth and that was Jesus. Bet Jesus just kept on going and doing even though he probably wanted to do more in His time on earth along with many trying to stand in His way.
Such good advice and reminder. Thank you, ktn.
A close friend of mine never fails to make his bed every morning, so he will always have one small accomplishment guaranteed every day, and inspiration to go on to the next thing.
I’ve adopted this plan too.
Thank you Steph and Maine.
there have been times like right after my divorce or finally getting into my new house here in Rapid that I had to start pounding that message into my head.
For a while in my new house I had to contend with stepping and walking around boxes. I would sit down look around and look at all the boxes. So I would pick one box. It didn’t matter what was in it, my goal was at least half a box or a place where it could be stored if it was things like holiday items. Sometimes it was just finding a storage place for the box, and sometime a place for the things in the box. Strangely I usually emptied the whole box, but some days it was only a 1/s box before I got side tracked.
Regardless steph I was like your friend–even when it was just a mattress on the floor because I was waiting for carpet and stuff to be in first I would make the bed so at least it looked like a human slept in the room.
Well Done Sundance. You and your crew are doing the Lord’s Work. Very Proud of you all. Be safe. Thank You!!!
People helping people. Meeting each other’s needs. What else were we put on earth to do?
This video is emblematic of both the relief efforts underway and our wonderful Coast Guard personnel:
https://rumble.com/v1m518m-coast-guard-rescues-two-people-and-three-cats-stranded-in-florida.html
That was heartwarming, I saw it on the TeeVee earlier today
And – for once – the phrase “Florida Man” is not a perjorative:
Florida Man Saves Cat
thank you for this
Poor kitty. I suspect his claws were digging in a bit–when they’re not comfy, the claws hang on tight.
And that HURTS!!!!!! Looks like it ended pretty well, though!
This video has really gone virual and I’ve watched it so many times. What a rescue mission!!
Ohmigod, I am the ultimate cat person. What a video, I want to hug that little fluff ball.
What are people doing living this way, so close to the sea?! WHy Why why?
These people are crazy. I just don’t get it. I also don’t get how calm that guy was as the water barrels in.
What is this country doing encouraging this?
I have a family (parents) home near the beach in the northeast on a barrier island and I think people who live so close to the sea are nuts, frankly. Watching that water is terrifying.
I grew up on an Atlantic island and completely understand the attraction of beachfront living. If your house is repeatedly blown into matchsticks are you able to scour the coastline for all the soaked garbage you created and clean it up? I think we need some new thinking about waterfront property development … a better way to build. Maybe homes on pontoons and anchored so they don’t float down main st.? Is there anywhere else in the world where this occurs and the natives have a better way to do it?
It all comes down to that – some people just have this magnetic attraction to being near or almost on water. It’s bizarre to me. It’s not my house, I didn’t buy it, my parents did. I will never understand what the attraction is, really. I also hate intense unmitigated sun since I’m very fair skinned, so that just adds to the difficulty for me.
So to someone like me who sees little to no real value of living or having a house right near the water, the choice is simple. We as a society need to stop funding it. Anyone who lives there needs to carry themselves completely. Easier said than done, though.
The few times I have answered a survey question pertaining to what physical characteristic I wish I had or could change, I always answer, “I’d like to have gills.” Not so much as a fish but more like an amphibian
Being of Irish-English-Scottish heritage, I don’t tan. I have stayed out of the Sun since my early 20s almost completely. No great loss … I’m more of a night person.
the lighthouse is still there to signify that God’s light cannot be extinguished……..may His blessings go out to all there in Florida affected by Ian and His Mercies comfort those who have lost loved ones in this storm
Thank God for your strong faith and sweet spirit of fellowship as you go forward in the days ahead. May He watch over you and keep you safe and healthy and continue to bless you and keep you always.
Disasters bring out the best in people.
Too bad we seem to need disasters, to bring out our best, live your best life, every day.
When one believes in God and the goodness of man, all things are possible.
Yes,
“Perhaps we shouldn’t wait for hurricanes”. Maybe that’s why there are hurricanes. Communities both literally and figuratively need rebuilding occasionally. Godspeed and goodwill Sundance. Thanks for your humble reminders of what really matters.
Joe,
Perhaps you have given the greatest answer to one of life’s age old questions.
Very profound.
I will we remember your words every time
Challenging events in life poses that question to me .
I hope you don’t mind if I borrow your inspirational words when needed.
Thanks Joe,
You have been our friend, as we have walked beside you, through years of insightful posts.
You never fail to inspire us all to live our best lives, even through adversity. Bless you!
Nous sommes tous freres.
We are all brothers.
Steadfast.
God bless and keep you safe, Sundance
Godspeed Sundance. ❤️
Let the healing begin.
Take care.
Get er done and selflessness are the best and brightest parts of a free and faithful America.
Where is the tip jar?
Upper right margin, just under the prayer candle.
Amazing! God is great and the emergency service personnel are outstanding!
Believe it or not, similar things happen in “evil” California during earthquakes.
During the Northridge quake (early 1990’s, forget exactly), I was living in Torrance, CA. After the shaking stopped in the pre-dawn morning, I went outside to the front yard, just as the man of the house next door did the same. After a minute or two of talking, we both said “do you smell gas”?
Apparently a lot of natural gas water heaters had been toppled or ripped from their mounts, breaking the gas feed lines to the point that the whole neighborhood began reeking of gas. Both of us were handy types and knew that pilot lights, etc. would be causing homes to explode in short order, if the gas lines were not shut off. We knew how to shut off main gas feeds to homes. We quickly discovered that most people were completely clueless on how to do that.
We both got some tools and after shutting off the gas to our homes, we went walking around the neighborhood shutting of gas to homes where we could smell gas. This went on for a short while, until we realized that the gas was everywhere and we started shutting down the gas to every home.
Other able males recognized what we were doing and quickly mobilized to aid in our efforts. I don’t know how many of us were in the streets in the end, but quite a few participated and we had the whole neighborhood under control in less than 1/2 hour.
It could have been really, really bad. My particular neighborhood at the time was hit anomalously hard, because the seismic waves were bouncing off the big volcanic rock called Palos Verdes and constructively adding in the South West Torrance neighborhood. Homes fell off their foundations in the neighborhood, whereas most of Torrance suffered little damage.
My prayers to you all in Florida and in the Carolinas. My post is not to make light of your travails, but to second Sundance’s assessment of the good in most people. Good people come out of the woodwork in a crisis.
You both are heroes that will never get the recognition you deserve, but I’m guessing recognition is something neither of you need or want.
That is why you are both heroes.
Shhhhh! Or Gavin Newsom will eliminate natural gas from our State. Ooops … too late.
Excellent info re the gas.
Thank you for sharing.
Sundance,
I commend you for your great attitude in the face of this troublesome situation.
Trying to take care of others who are in more need than you, when you can help them out.
It is the “right thing to do”.
It is definitely commendable, as well as inspirational, and I salute you & any others who do the same thing to help out their fellow folks who in need of a helping hand in tough times~!
God bless you & yours, as well as all of those out there who can use the blessings~!
Thank you for updating us. I hope you’re able to have your home repaired soon. Thank you for helping others even in the midst of your issues.
SD very much appreciate that you are taking the time to do these updates as you guys must be exhausted. Know that constant prayers and good wishes are flowing greater than any storm surge or headwind that is thrown your way. Waiting on the green light to head over to the Estero area to help friends/relatives clean up the unbelievable mess.
Good to read your words Sundance. Your belief that humanity is inherently GOOD has changed the trajectory of my life. Thank You.
In times of tragedy, in times of despair, in time of need….the ordinary become the extraordinary people.
People helping people…it becomes second nature, even in today’s screwed up world.
God bless and take care to all affected by this storm and to those helping those who are in need.
Why did so many people stay on Sanibel Island? Were the evacuation orders issued too late?
I wonder if Jerry’s Foods is still standing.
The southside of the main island is in worse shape than the North End. Jerry’s on Periwinkle should be ok, albeit likely damaged along with everything else.
God has a way of resetting things. The destruction of millions of cubic tons of sand from the causeway (leading to bridge failure) appears to have added 50′ of beach along the North end of Fort Myers beach.
Barrier islands are called “barrier islands” for a reason. They are part of God’s plan to protect the mainland.
I’ve always said that people do not own barrier island property, they rent it from God. Despite our human hubris, the entire topography of a barrier island system can naturally be changed in a few hours. This is one of those examples.
Hurricane Ian has made billions worth of property essentially worthless.
SD, it sounds like there is no way to access the island except by boat? Not sure about landing strips…
You wonder if the US military couldn’t provide a pontoon bridge for the short term?
Coast Guard, bless them, are also using helicopters.
My friends are on the south tip of Pine Island..I know that their house is basically gone except for one room. I haven’t heard if they were rescued.
Hope and pray they’re safe!
Same thing happened here after Mathew hit, 80 house along the beach where considered condemned until they built a seawall
Legal questions. Who owns the 50 feet of new beach? And are property taxes adjusted for those who lost real estate (land) to the sea?
They might not believe it could happen to them. They might not have felt they had any place to go. They might have expected it to go further north and not hit the islands so hard. They might have wanted to protect their property from looters. Who knows?
There is also an issue with perspective. To the human eye, one lives on a large piece of land. To Mother Nature and God, a blip.
I always love this website to put everything in perspective on our odd little planet.
https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-75.92,40.32,917/loc=-81.970,30.182
Awesome! Just bookmarked it.
24 hours before it hit my friend said she could not get off Pine Island..she said roads were clogged and no gas..
That explains a lot.
I noticed the big condo buildings on the beach were standing when nearby houses were gone. Different building codes?
Why weren’t mobile home parks evacuated automatically as a priority life- saving measure? Or am I thinking like the Covidians?
Even if “mandatory” evacuations are ordered, law enforcement does not force you to leave your home. Basically, they ask that you leave a number to notify next of kin in worst case scenario.
They are always ordered to leave but many do not.
It’s never an easy call, first it was aimed at us, then south of us then farther south of us, so leave, don’t leave, wait for next update etc etc. It is costly to evacuate. The main thing is save life the rest will come along.
God bless you and keep you Sundance
Thank you for being
I found the tip jar xoxo
Thanks for the update Sundance. I must admit I have a hard time wrapping my head around this. I live in Montana where a 6’ blizzard with 60mph winds is the worst we see. We prep for those though and while inconvenient, not the end of the world.
Pictures of destruction similar to this are so common (Internet age with worldwide weather disasters, war, etc., in front page every day) that it makes one somewhat immune to the carnage. It is good to hear the personal end of it from someone that I trust not to exaggerate for the sake of clicks and attention.
The personal touch matters. Thanks.
Sundance , you have restored my faith in humanity.
Prayers for all in Florida!
How are the areas in NW section of Cape Coral? It seems 3 different families there are good but just wondering if perhaps it’s just that area fared better than south side. Thanks for all you do. My Mom kept up with your posts.
Sundance, the Ham Radio community is mobilized to help provide emergency comm support to the disaster area. The following link should provide info and places to look or comm support. Hope this is helpful…

Incredible and impressive article by sundance during a very challenging and difficult time for him and many or all of his neighbors.
If one of the TV networks had an on scene reporter delivering the contents of this article during on air update, it would deserve an award for exceptional journalism and for wise guidance during severe hardship.
More donations to follow.
literally the last refuge
this post brought tears to my eyes
and ‘florida man saves cat‘ – no words
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Thanks much for taking the time to share. Kudos to you & others helping those less fortunate.
WWG1WGA! MAGA/SA!
LOVE right back at ya Sundance prayers and $ heading your way whatever you need my friend you have an Army of treepers at your disposal just let us know how best to help
Love you back Sundance! If we only return to you a fraction of the encouragement and clarity you’ve given us, you’ll be mightily blessed.
“God’s love utterly displaces all fear”—1 John 4:18
Glad you and yours are safe SD, and that there are those out there, like you, that are helping to get people back on their feet from this. Reading this, it reminded of a movie quote (cheesy, I know…) that really does ring true in times like these:
“At some point, everything’s gonna go south on you…everything’s going to go south and you’re going to say, this is it. This is how I end. Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work. That’s all it is. You just begin. You do the math. You solve one problem…and you solve the next one…and then the next. And If you solve enough problems, you get to come home.” -from “The Martian”
💔😥 Your words brought me to tears. Thank you for helping those in need 🙏
Again, we are all so relieved you and your family are safe.
Taking time from rescue and clean-up, repairing your home and helping others to update us with details is very much appreciated. I cannot imagine the devastation people are experiencing.
Be well, be safe. God bless you! ❤
Also wondering about Naples. We have not heard back from a couple who are good old friends. Hoping the issue is just telecommunications.
Thank you, truly, for taking the time to write. You do it well & tell the tale with humanity. Some of the photos I’ve seen look like strike photos from the history of my Dad’s B-29 outfit. Godspeed.
Ah, finding the beauty in the rubble, the hug in the storm, the tired smile in the exhaustion — God bless you, Sundance, and all suffering as well as growing in community, strength and God’s light.
Reading your article I could not help but think about what the Globalists have in store for us, and ask
How on earth do these idiots think that with –
No electricity in this type of emergency situation = no pumps = no petrol
No electricity = no EV (or any battery) charging
No electricity = no communications
No electricity = no Teller Machines or banking = cashless lady and the rest of us no money – the new digital economy is useless.
Just how do these idiots believe the world will cope? I could think of much more, but that’s enough for starters.
WE are all praying for you Sundance, and your fellow Floridians, may God watch over you all.
Thank you for the update. I continue to pray for you, your crew and all those affected by this devastating storm.
SD mentioned the top of the top big issues.
Another is TRAFFIC CONTROL. STAY OFF THE DAMN STREETS. WALK OR BIKE TO THE CLOSEST OPEN STORE. (there won’t be many…You screwed up stocking your emergency pantry) The traffic control lights are not working where there is no power. Go ahead and play Mad Max with a car.
First responders and infrastructure repair personnel are still trying to drive on virtually impassable roads, and people are driving through intersections T-boning each other and getting into road rage incidents. You get hurt and the nearest hospital will be closed (they are). Don’t expect a towing company to show up.
STAY OUT OF THE WATER WITH YOUR PROP BOAT. The debris below the surface will foul your prop. Several rescue crafts from FWC and other agencies ran into mattresses and other trash yesterday just trying to get to the islands to get people off. We don’t need other recreational boater rescues to perform. Every –> airboat<– from surrounding counties are in Ft. Myers helping. JUST STAY HOME WITH YOUR PROP BOAT.
DON’T GO ON SAFARIS LOOKING FOR GAS. If you are out of gas, you screwed up BIG TIME. TAKE THE PAIN. People are driving to eastward counties with a car or truck full of gas cans taking gas from us with the intention of re-selling it on the west coast. That is against Florida Statutes. In Hendry and Glades county we will report these people to the LEOs faster than you can leave that station.
CREDIT CARDS WON’T WORK. Duh…you can’t swipe without power and internet connectivity. You should have a minimum amount of cash on hand for 2-3 weeks. Do you see that now???
THAT MEANS THE PEOPLE WITH EBT WILL BE GETTING FRISKY SOON. Keep that in mind.
And remember, you should be prepared for SHTF of any sort. That means hurricanes, grid collapse, financial collapse, government collapse….EVERYTHING.
A lot of what I’m seeing just tells me many people are TOTALLY UNPREPARED FOR ANYTHING. That includes my boys that are sitting over there at ground zero needing some supplies right now. And, I even warned/coached them…they missed some important preps.
Every selfless act of kindness strengthens the heart, and blesses your soul … Send goods and money, and remember to pray for all the Angels of mercy, and their Samaritans … God Bless!
With all the debris that has to be removed — trees, demolished buildings, damaged vehicles — where is it removed to? Where do they put it?
In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina’s eye traveled right over Hattiesburg and Petal, MS just across the Leaf River from H’burg. That area didn’t suffer nearly as much as the Gulf Coast, but it still got a lot of wind and rain. Much of the damage was roofs being blown off buildings and being damaged by trees being blown over onto them. Many houses were totally destroyed by a single huge oak or pine falling across them.
Due to the slow economy at that time, all the lumber mills in that area were already sitting on unsellable lumber and had stopped taking in additional logs. So, all the ‘wood’ debris, from twigs right on up to huge oaks and pines, along with all other burnable debris was hauled to a local landfill and burned. That included many whole trees that might have otherwise been salvaged for lumber but was not because of the oversupply already in existence there. The wasted lumber probably amounted to millions of dollars’ worth.
There was so much debris being burned that on many overcast days, the smoke spread out over the entire area. The cloud cover kept it from dissipating upward; so, it sort of turned into a smelly low hanging smog, bringing many complaints from the local citizens. At times, the burning was temporarily stopped; but that just allowed the pile to grow bigger and create even more smoke when it restarted.
I don’t know for sure about damaged cars, but I suspect that where possible, the owners held on to them until they reached a settlement deal with the insurance company and then they were probably taken to the local junkyards.
A good friend of mine went to Louisiana after Katrina. They had a four man crew; two debris trucks with loaders, one skid steer, one chain saw man. Their contracted work was to clear the road right of way, which is often 60-100 feet wide. Load everything in that ROW and leave the rest.
Everything went in a huge pile at a FEMA dump site. Some of it was ground up, but most went on the pile and compacted with tracked machines. What happened to The Pile? He never knew.
Everything from trees and boats to mattresses. Unreal.
Thank you to both JesseTMims and DPP for answering my question.
Sundance is my hero.
Just, WOW. God Bless you, Sundance. 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sundance, your account of the situation, and how fellow human beings are helping each other during this time of great need, brought a tear to my eye.
I know it is only a quote from a movie, but I never forgot it: “You know what I admire most about your species? You are best when things are worst” (Star Man). So true. So very true.
‘…and frantic out of state families looking for their loved ones…”
I cried reading your words, Sundance. I am crying, still.
Haven’t been able to reach our niece and her husband in Holiday (just north of St. Pete), and that frantic look from out of state families has tentacles that reach far from Florida.
I can’t imagine what it would be like to be in the middle of the rubble — and the middle of so many frantic looks — and not be able to find those you love.
But I read your words and realize, love the people in front of you. Love them as though they are the family you long to know are alright, because that is exactly who they are.
And maybe, just maybe, someone else may be doing that right now for my niece and her husband.
I beseech the Lord’s mercy for all whose loved ones are in quiet mode right now, for whatever reason.
Thank you, Sundance, for taking one step at a time and, while remaining focused on the job ahead of you, keeping us updated with how you are doing.
May God’s grace continue to uphold you and your family.
just so you know Holiday is fine we got nothing really a bit of rain and some gusts. I’m sure they are fine. Its the weekend maybe they went out to let of some steam form this past week.
Thank you so much for letting me know, Dee! Wonderful to hear from someone who lives there!
Perhaps we shouldn’t wait for hurricanes. Says it all. Thanks, Sundance.
