Yes ... more hurricanes on the way. We don't know where they will hit, but probably damage will be a bit more localized. Irma was huge.

Your brother's family was super-fortunate about the storm surge and the flooding from the canal. Six inches is very close. But I'm glad it all worked out for them.


Thanks, Pete.

Interesting AP article about how the Irma experience may shape some peoples decisions in the next storm.

...Some of the tens of thousands who heeded the warnings got stuck in massive traffic jams, waited in hourslong lines at a dwindling number of gas stations still equipped with fuel, and were forced to bounce from city to city as the storm kept changing its path.
