The survivor guilt is strong, sending a donation to world central kitchen. They always seem to be first at the scene of all disasters. <br />Hoping your friends in Tampa and dear e are ok. My friends in St. Pete are ok, no damage but no power. So grateful yet sad at the suffering that’s surely happening. <br />Xoxo <br />Barbara Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-11695189951769988032022-09-29T14:17:06.830-04:002022-09-29T14:17:06.830-04:00Good old Ian!

I contacted my cousin down in Wellington to make sure she was okay and she was. The weather is changing. This one was twice the size of Hurricane Andrew. What happens in a few years when there is another hurricane twice the size of Ian? Hurricane Fiona destroyed Port aux Basques in Newfoundland and parts of PEI. It's getting worse.<br />Sending hugs to you and have a lovely birthday celebration on Saturday.<br />Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01313413260127376288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-87034343134776328212022-09-29T08:33:57.452-04:002022-09-29T08:33:57.452-04:00You even have sunshine!

That's amazing.<br /><br />When I used to live in Tampa people told stories about how hurricanes sucked the water out of the bay, and I always thought it was an old wives' tale or an exaggeration. But no. (We were never hit by a hurricane in my time there.)<br /><br />A friend posted some devastating photos of damage in Venice, where I used to live and work. The community theater there has collapsed.<br /><br />Scary.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-78389134153405606412022-09-29T03:46:56.727-04:002022-09-29T03:46:56.727-04:00The first thing I did when I woke up this morning ...The first thing I did when I woke up this morning ( Thursday) was to check on the hurricane.
