I'm so glad you are safe Frederic, I've been watching sky news and seeing the aftermath of the hurricane, so many lives devastated - we are at the mercy of mother nature. hugs Jan xx

Thank you to all who had a concern, things worked out but for those north of me many prayers...Craig I'm a mile and one half from the bay...still waiting on any storm surge

Stay safe, hope you're away from the coast - guess it's going more north but still making a mess. Our winter home is in Spring Hill at Timber Pines - looks like it'll dodge another direct hit, but we'll see - good luck Frederic!

Frederic, dear friend, dear poet, may you and your wife be kept free from harm. Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers that you are spared the brunt of the storm. Warmest wishes for your safety.. ~Susan

thank you Susan, dear friend, dear poet, and yes we were spared the brunt of the storm, but still had a lot of rain with tropical force winds, they'll be dying down as the day goes on

Sorry you have to endure that. It must be stressful. Our beloved Carolyn who lived in Florida would always tell me her worries during hurricane times.

Frederick, I hope you stay safe during the hurricane and evacuate for safety if needed, keep us posted.

Robert

My friend, I hope you ride it out and are safe and sound after it passes. No hurricanes here, just destructive tornado's. A few years ago I had one take a hard abrupt right turn about 400 yards from my house and destroy several houses there. God bless you.

Frederic Parker
Date: 8/29/2023 10:32:00 AM

thank you Robert, sorry to hear about your tornados, and may God bless you

Frederic Parker

That's looking at the positive side of a situation. Yes, get your paper and pencil out. Hopefully you won't lose power. Take care, Frederic. ~ Brandy
