RE: Reflections: Family and Hurricane Florence
I'm glad to hear that your family member is well @roleerob! I was contemplating some of the same things here in Mexico; we've been having a few stormy days and are at the beginning of "hurricane season" here as well; that feeling of "waiting" is something I'm familiar with and it's a very odd feeling indeed. Florence has sure left a mess of heartache in her wake, hasn't she?! :(
Yes, all is well, as this is written @lynncoyle1. For which we are very thankful.
Yes, taking a quick look at the map, if I understand where you are, definitely (hopefully not ...) could be a hurricane in your future at some point. I've never been faced with a decision of that magnitude, but (in the safety of my cozy home where no threat like that is possible ... 😉) I would definitely evacuate.
The closest I ever came to the destructive power of these storms is simply seeing the dreadfully dark sky surrounding a tornado that was going about its destructive business way off in the distance in Kansas. As a child ... Unforgettable.
And hurricanes "spin off" tornadoes all around them ... Wow!
We are about 40 minutes south of Cancun, but thankfully so far, no hurricanes this year. We've been lucky so far ... knock on some wood somewhere please :)
