We survived Milton, spirit

Hurricane forecast — Bottom row: 2:00 AM update. Sustained winds down to 90-mph .

Every 60-90 minutes the wind’s deep howl woke me. Each time it did i’d check Milton’s status.

The photo above shows Milton’s 2:00 AM status is south, and now, east of us. Sustained winds 90mph.

Note: Took this screenshot update at 3:30AM.

Curse you Hurricane Milton, spirit

Isreal news — Note, this is not a video. It’s a screen shot. What is a bigger concern, the potentially-most intense hurricane ever, or potentially getting blown off the map?

Nearing 8:00 PM October 9, we are enjoying our second consecutive lobster tail dinner.

The rain has been steady all day. Relatively light. However, the ground is already saturated. So what we already have before the arrival of major rainfall is yard flooding.

Flooding may cover our road. Told our son we’ve never seen it but it was close in 2004 when we had three hurricanes in one month: Charlie, Francis, Jeanne.

All hands on deck, spirit

Hurricane Milton news brief — Sustained, 180 mph.

First priority is vehicle prep. Gas, tire pressure, oil.

The gas-station lines are overwhelmed with semi-panicked people.

We have three cars.

One of them has a dead battery from lack of use. It is also in a location that the three of us had to push to get to a better battery charging scenario.

On a plane to WDW, spirit

A seemingly insignificant delay. It turned into a fiasco.

It’s worth repeating that our travel day isn’t to get home. If it was and there’s nothing that’s freaking us out, the delays and challenges would be inconvenient but tolerable.

We are not trying to get home for ordinary reasons.

We are trying to get home to prepare our home for what could be the first “Category 6” hurricane.

Emergency return home, spirit

Hotel entrance at night — View of the reception lobby from our building. We are leaving before daybreak.

At 7:00 AM i am greeted at the front desk by Giovanna.

Explaining my predicament as simply as i know how, she proceeds to tell me we will only be charged for last night.

The central context for our early departure is to manage the news that a monster hurricane’s eye is aimed at our house.

No one saw this coming.

i got emotional but didn’t lose it. Stunned at her gracious hospitality.
