Wishing the best for you and your family. I have a few friends in the Caribbean islands that were affected thus far, and it has been traumatic. Hopefully all will go well in Florida. Stay safe!

I am glad to see you are leaving early. I lived in Key Largo for a while so I know how hard this can be.

Sending you and yours positive thoughts for a safe journey away from home and when returning home. All my best.

Warm (and dry!) wishes for a safe return home! I had a few friends with flooded houses in Houston-- it's super weird to see someone standing waist deep in water in their kitchen. I sincerely hope you don't have anything like that when you get back, but if you do let us know how we can help.

Well Erica, here's hoping you made out as well as we did here.
No power, no phone, no internet, but no one hurt and only minor tree damage.
And you don't need electricity to make martinis.

Thank you everyone for all of your warm well wishes and prayers. I am very fortunate to report our house is fine. My parents' house had minor roof damage and leaking which can be repaired. We feel so lucky. I am so sorry to hear about your friends @Briana and about your damage @AnasaziWrites and I hope things are back to normal in short order.

This has been the longest week of my life and I will be very grateful when it's all over. My heart is broken for all of those who weren't so fortunate and are dealing with life changing issues.

@Erica McPhee
Good to hear.
Are you back in your house now? Any problems getting there? We have had huge traffic snarls on US75 heading south out of Atlanta. Everyone wants to get back.

[Erica McPhee]

No. We are waiting until Friday to try to drive back. My brother and his family are staying at our house because they are without power. We're hoping things won't be as bad by Friday.

I am so very glad that both your and your parents' homes are only minorly affected Erica. best wishes for getting home and getting back to normal life as soon as possible x

Thinking of those amongst you who have suffered badly with this and other disasters - both natural and not. We are lucky here in the UK that the weather is rarely so frightening, and never for most of us.

Love to all
