10. "How close are you to the shore? " I'm about 2.5 miles as the crow flies. The important thing

Sep 2022

is that I'm 60 feet above see level.. When I lived in So Fla I was 6 miles from the shore but only 9 feet above sea level.
I have a friend who is living in a "trailer" oops I mean "manufactured housing" complex in Venice. It's Huge and she has a creek/bayou/big stream in her back yard.
She is 87 and sharp as a tack. Lucky her daughter lives up this way in Clearwater so she is coming up here.
11am NHC update says Sarasota and south are gonna get it. I'll wait for tomorrows update as it gets closer. The weather gods are a fickle bunch and it might take a jog north or south.
But it's a comin'
