    Default Bracing for Hurricane Irma

    Stay safe, Border folks in Florida!

    In the meantime, this hilarious column made me laugh until I about cried. I made a trip rather like he talks about after the April 27, 2011 tornadoes tore up jack around here. We were out of power and my then-83-year-old mother was going bananas without her TV. Soooo, I loaded her up and we went to Rome, GA to stay with my sister. A potty break at the McDonald's in Fort Payne went a lot like this one, although we were able to get inside.

    I dropped Mama off at sister's, went to a hotel, checked in and nearly ran them out of hot water taking a shower. It had been a couple of days.

    Yes, take care, Floridian Borderers!

    My older sister and her sons live in Tampa, so it seems my worries aren't over yet either.

    Thoughts and prayers for those in Florida and Irma's path too. Do have some friends that are there and others including my family that was there evacuated. My aunt was going to go down there as she has a condo in Florida but is staying here for now but is worried about her place.

    I can't believe what a monster of a storm this has turned out to be and right on the heels of the massive devastation in Texas and Louisiana.

    Everyone keep safe ... I have friends in Naples and the panhandle who tell me they are not evacuating yet and hope they won't have to. Not sure if that is wise but they said they are prepared to get out if advised/ordered.

    Everyone please stay safe !
    I have a nephew, his wife and their kids who live outside Clearwater and relatives on the Panhandle. My nephew has evacuated and my sister and BIL who live in SC may be doing the same thing.
