Wednesday October 9th 9:45PM

It comes on waves ebbing and flowing.
 Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is
 overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim...

 We spent most of the day waiting to see what 
Milton will do, and where Milton will make landfall.
 Waiting is very stressful.  The wait is over and Milton 
made it’s landfall🌴😢earlier than expected, which
 is good.  It made landfall in Siesta Key, Sarasota.


Floridians know how to weather a storm.  They do it 
best with humor.  It lightens the situation, but at the same time
 we all know that its just a way to cope and to forget if only 
for a few minutes the anxiety of what's happening.  The waters 
are rising right now, but it will be less than Ian and Helene.


Today Fort Myers breathes a sigh or relief.  Sarasota 
sadly not.  Let's see what the water damage is later
 on as Thursday rolls in.  For now we are grateful.

Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to get out and 
about again.  Check out what damage was done.  Already 
Lee County has over 33,000 people without power. 


My sister and husband have one of their homes 
in Tampa.  As of right now the water in her area is rising, 
and this is inland.  They have a pond in their backyard 
so that could cause some issues should it overflow.

This is it for today.  We soon go to sleep. 
 Let's see what the new day will hold for us.


And once the storm is over you won't 
remember how you made it through, but you 
won't be the same person who walked in...
