Signs on Our Evacuation “Vacation”
Those of us who lived in dread of the approaching Hurricane Milton needed to get out of town, or, better yet, get out of state due to those historic, last minute “wobbles.” The numbers were scary (gusts of up to 200 mph!) with a bullseye right on us. So, because some of us were required…
