Here in Fort Lauderdale we dodged the bullet. A good friend lives in Port Charlotte on Florida’s west coast, and she decided to take off this morning for Soth Florida (I’m boarding her four dogs for the weekend). Sure enough, when she arrived we turned on the TV to see that the eye of the storm was going to pass over Port Charlotte.
Hurricanes suck… Julie was at ground zero for Andrew in 1992, and it was harrowing.
