Oh, man, Laura, I'm sorry they didn't get out... assuming they could have. Sending all the good stay safe vibes their way.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Safe vibes to all the Floridians.

Our wings are not tired.
I keep watching one of the Ft. Myers local channel's live stream. Not looking nice for Sanibel & Captiva islands. A few years ago a storm cut one of the islands in half. I don't think the eye is crossing them, but very close. My sister Judi has a solar system to heat her pool that is like black cloth with tubes through it to heat the water. It has come loose and is slapping around against the roof to drive her crazy.

Ian looks pretty scary. I'm glad it's not hitting Tampa Bay, as some earlier projections suggested. But its current trajectory looks bad enough.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
Super scary.
What the fuuuuuuck.

My friend C's mom lives on Sanibel Island. She's evacuated, but she was in negotiations to buy her condo, and now she's worried everything will be gone when she gets back. It's terrifying.

Laura I’m so sorry you have people down there who aren’t able or willing to leave.

Both my sibling's houses are without power, of course. The local channel changed to the network feed so apparently they lost the ability to broadcast. My sister heard a tornado, but it was a long ways from her, they are just crazy loud. We are keeping in touch via text as circuits are busy when you try and call so no sense tying up the lines. Judi is glad her solar thing blew off because it isn't making so much noise now. I'm not looking forward to the helicopter footage in the morning. It will not be pretty.
We went and visited with my son and girlfriend then went to my great nephew's soccer game. Checking things off the list before DH leaves for Florida. He was leaving tomorrow, but his tournament for this weekend was canceled so he can wait for better driving conditions. If possible he is going to head over to Bonita to help Judi however he can. She is near a pretty major road so hopefully it will be cleared fairly quickly.
