Ian is targeting the Sarasota area. My friend Hillary and a lot of friends are right in the target area.
My niece Laura lives in a manufactured home in Port Charlotte, so she boarded it up and is sheltering with a friend who lives in a cinder block house in Venice.
Will she keep in touch with your family so you know all is well?
Yes, DR Jane. Laura, her mom (my sister in Michigan), and have an ongoing Messenger thread that we usually use for crafty conversations and family chit chat. The last thing Laura said was, “Turn off the Weather Channel.”
She knows that if we don’t hear from her we’ll assume the worst.
