Surviving Milton

 

Sunset before Hurricane Milton
Tequesta, FL
October 9, 2024

Although hurricane Milton has not yet made landfall, we have survived a day of severe thunderstorms and tornados. Chris and I sat on the veranda this afternoon watching the storms pass while drinking wine. We were fortunate as our veranda faces east and the storms were coming from the south. 

The news channels report the worst has passed, WRT the tornados and tonight as Milton makes landfall we will experience tropical storm force winds, but will be spared from the hurricane force winds. 

For the next 18 or so hours we will face Milton's wrath, but we are lucky in that we are not in the direct path of the storm. Chris and I are hearing reports of homes already torn from their foundations, but we remain. 

Thank you to all of you who have wished us well and are praying. I expect tomorrow we will begin cleanup, but we will escape the brunt of the storm. Pray for those in the path of destruction. 

Here is looking for a good night. I have the storm shutters closed in anticipation of a rough night.
