Now Comes Hurricane Milton...

[smith point boater]

My wife and her 2 sisters own a family condo in Bonita Beach...right on the Gulf. It was devastated by Ian a few years ago and hasn't been rented since . It was scheduled to reopen next month and renters are lined up for this season. Not looking to good, is it...

My wife and I snowbird in Bonita Springs in a golf community 3 miles from the ocean. The entire area has been issued a mandatory evacuation order. Most neighbors and friends left but a few are staying. The 1-2 punch for those impacted from Ian is terrible (as well as Helene victims)

Thankfully we had scheduled our return to Bonita for next week

Good luck to all

We have good friends who live full-time in Spanish Wells community in Bonita Beach, not too far from the ocean. We texted them a couple days ago and at that time, they were planning to stay put. Yikes...

From the State of Florida's www.floridadisaster.org ...... their instructions on how to fill a Sandbag ...... http://www.floridadisaster.org/disas...rricanemilton/ ..... sandbag usage.

Milton is a somewhat unusual name ..... don't know any Milton's ....... so's maybe the name Milton will become more in use, a more common name after this Hurricane Milton has come and gone, especially if it is a big storm?

Here's a Wikipedia ..... www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_(given_name)) ...... list of Milton's and it apparently was more in use in the first half of the last century from 1900 to 1950. Time will tell if Hurricane Milton causes a name surge for Milton in the future.
