and I came to Indiana to stay with daughter for a few months. In the mean time... Irma. My other kids who live in Key Largo tell me things are starting to take shape in upper Keys. I'll be back next week so I'll have a better idea. I live in a trailer 50 ft from the ocean so lost everything but my house. Car, yard, porch, shed, etc. Could have been worse; I could have been born a Trump.

What he passes off as his non-scary face is bad enough.

I lived there for 20 plus years, and I can only imagine.

I hope your property wasn't damaged. I know you were out of the state (thank god), but I hope everything is ok.

In Wilma the shed floated away. The house was not liveable, though we did live in it for awhile. I hate this happened to the Keys.

So glad you're ok. Hugs.

. . . had the house move enough on the foundation that they had to have the house jacked up and the foundation under it replaced.

Our one really good friend in KW had the little balcony off her main bedroom blow loose from the house.

Nobody in KW had enough damage that they can't live in the house, but enough to be a bummer.

said Tom Price and Gov Scott showed up. My daughter was concerned Trump would show up and texted my husband DO NOT shake hands with him.
