After going to South Carolina to get away from a direct hit from Irma, my son and I returned last Thursday to find our homes intact though I was without power 'til this afternoon. We dodged a bullet here when Irma sucked in a bunch of dry air after leaving Cuba then turning slightly east of us. Many inland communities are reeling from the damage and in some small fishing communities south of here where the eye came ashore people are dying and having limbs amputated from infections brought on by trying to clean up in the tainted waters left behind. Yeah, it's real picnic compared to Texas.
