Outrunning Irma

I've been with my mom in Florida for the last couple weeks and had planned on staying through this weekend.  Enter Irma.  Irma, the strongest Atlantic hurricane ever with 185 mph winds, 500 miles wide. 
No thanks!  
The Writer will drive down today and tomorrow we will join
the traffic headed north out of here.  



This reminder of the hurricanes that battered this area in a one year period hangs in a restaurant on the way to the care home where my mom is still staying.


There is still the hope here that Irma will wander a bit to the east away from Florida.  


If so, we'll just hope it wanders far enough out to sea that it doesn't come north and 
wallop South Carolina instead!  









If Irma has her way, this serene scene near my mom's house 
won't be so peaceful 
in the next few days.

    Good luck on the road - may the traffic be kind. And here's hoping it passes away from your mom.

    Hope you have a safe drive home. We're crossing our fingers and saying a few prayers that it will miss us all.

    Sure is a cauldron in the Caribbeans at present!
    Good that you are high tailing it out and hopefully
    your area in SC is spared.
    Trust that your Mom will be OK ??????
