well we gassed up today , all the stores are already out of water but we managed to find some at the gas station. We are preparing for a bad hit. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it does not happen but all the models show that south florida is going to get impacted one way or another. We are in port charlotte close to the coast so we are planning on leaving the area probably Thursday depending on the models. We were suppose to fly out Saturday up to Michigan saturday but most likely ft. myers airport will be closed and we really need to be close by in case our home is damaged badly. I feel so bad for Kathy because she has not seen her mother for almost 2 years and has not seen her since her bad accident. Will probably delay our flight by a couple days and cancel if we take a bad hit. The good thing is that our house heae survived hurricaer charlie fairly well, esp. being the eye was only 2 miles away . We are the only ones in our neighborhood that have flood insurance and out canal out back drains well.Too anyone else reading this from the area we wish you good luck and stay safe
