Dad 639: Hurricane Ian

(Dad writes today! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Another nice day in the Northeast. We will enjoy it while it lasts.

 

Well, while we are enjoying our weather, Florida is getting slammed by Ian, a very strong hurricane. The category of the storm is a four or five.

 

Rain in Florida is up around the 20-inch mark. Winds are as high as 155. Pilots have flown into the eye of the storm, and the severity of the storm has caused them to turn around.

 

I did talk to sister Deb today. She is in Leesburg, about one hour above Orlando. She has not seen any results of the storm yet. It looks to me like she will be on the top side of the storm. She may stay across the street with neighbors tonight. I'll check in with her early evening and see what is going on.

 

Not much news from Maine as everything is status quo. Tracy has a better name for how things are going. Perhaps she can put it in here.*

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!
