That sucks. I would have loaded up the dogs and those two winged warriors (and the wife if there was room left) and went to higher ground.

The problem with Florida is that there is no real higher ground. When I was a prosecutor down there around three decades ago, one of our local offices was "in the Highlands" outside of Lakeland. It was called the Highlands because it was the highest elevation point above sea level in the area...like 300 feet or so, above sea level and in the geographic center of the state..

Higher ground here in Athens, GA.

I figure anyone that owns an 8-million-dollar beach front home should have enough money and sense to save a couple of my favorite cars.

All he needed was a '69 Trans Am and he would have had the trifecta.

That being said, by the time they realized they were going to take a direct hit it was probably too late to get the cars moved.

Hate that the guy had the trouble, it terrible what those folks are facing down there.

Meeting up with my daughter-in-law tomorrow north of Atlanta to take the grandkids back to Michigan with us. They live in Cape Coral which was hit really hard as well. My son who’s in law enforcement in the Cape is working 12 hour shifts, seven days a week until further notice. He’s hearing they may have to rebuild the power grid so no power or running water. They are also saying school may not restart until Jan 1st.
