Florida/The Caribbean/Irma check in

[Rumor]

Today's update: one of my best friend's brother, who I went to grade school with, lives in St. Thomas, part of the US Virgin Islands. He and his new wife, survived, ok. Their apartment and the island are trashed and they are very traumatized. They has 225 mph winds. They will be okay, it will take some time.

Tomorrow, I should get the Puerto Rico report.

Me and my pup will be here with our shutters closed, flashlights, battery-operated fans, bottled water, batteries and several power banks to charge phone and tablet. We will have tree damage and flooding, it just becomes a matter of location and volume. Hopefully, no broken windows, roof damage or drowned vehicles.

My kid brother lives several miles west of me. He has the fortune of living in the fire and police grid for his electricity. His always gets restored, long before mine. I can usually hit him up for a hot shower and meal, when travel is possible again.

Hopefully, all will be manageable. And most importantly, everyone will be safe. Thank you for all your kind wishes. Until next time, Rumor.
