You'd think Florida would've emptied out after the 150-MPH winds of Hurricane Andrew in 1992. State Farm Insurance abandoned Florida the following year.

A Miami neighbor installed "hurricane windows" in his concrete-block house. What struck me immediately was the cutting-off of all outdoor sounds (some good

), but self-isolating. Weren't those windows subsidized by insurance- or government/insurance funding?

This morning, there's been a small shift predicted, moving Milton somewhat northward: imagine vacating south to the Florida Keys?

There are local and eastward options, but a hurricane approaching directly perpendicular to the Florida peninsula has me worried--and not just for myself...

During Hurricane Helene, I had traveled to North Carolina, where I overnighted. Gas stations were closed all around and restaurants were cash-only. In looking for gas, I had gotten myself lost, but found a business open for directions--a marijuana dispensary!

Upon leaving early on a lonely
I-77, I received a text saying, "Don't travel on I-77...!"
