Random, but I can never see the Sargasso Sea mentioned without thinking, It's Wide Sargasso Sea.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Naples got slammed hard. Street underwater. Lots of structural damage.

Winds are much lower hitting St. Pete. Down to 60mph. That will mitigate a lot of the damage but still worried about the big surge.

Our wings are not tired.
we're married to similar men. Teach him to knit! H does sudoku incessantly when he's not building, repairing, or improving something for us or the neighbors. If he sits, he dozes off. Must stay busy!
Even the same with the Sudoku! He is not only addicted, but he is fiercely competitive and has to get new high scores.
Storm seems to be falling apart and moving further east staying over land. Still going to find a big mess in the morning many places. None of my family has power.

I'm scared to even look for images of Miami. The shelter where my sister works is a designated shelter-in-place, and my BiL (who has a construction background) has been helping them all week to make it as air and water-tight as possible, but because she's working she hasn't had time to let us know anything yet.

The status is NOT quo.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So it looks like the storm turned inland so it will spare much of Sarasota/St. Pete/Tampa.
It'll hit Orlando now, but it'll be much weaker traveling over land and it won't cause as much storm surge.
So that's good. Unless you're Disney.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Our friends who live near Orlando lost power in the last half hour or so. They think power was cut to keep transformers from blowing. (I have no idea how they can know that, but that's what they said.) They're expecting to lose cell service shortly.
