I can't imagine a Category 5 with 150 mph winds. Praying you all are safe.

Amen! I have a friend in Ft Myers area who posted pics of the storm surge going around his house as he stood on his deck. Waiting to see what this AM brings! Sounds like Butch and Patty made it home and might have just been nicked?

Patti and I made it back from the convention in time to button up our home. We are some of the lucky ones. No flooding or damage at our house. Winds were constant 70 with higher gust.Thanks for thinking of us. I enjoyed time spent with my ORCA family in Frankfort

That's super news, Butch. I always worry about the Florida Keys, especially.
