On a positive note...

God bless you and you and your family will be in my prayers. If it is not too late, I suggest you re-consider and get out of there. I know baseball cards are last on someone's mind when facing a hurricane, but in your case I know you have a very magnificent and expensive collection. I hope they are somewhere safe, too. Best wishes to you.

Thanks guys. You know Ed, on Tuesday I decided to take my cards to the safety deposit box in my bank. I feared that during the hurricane, I may be faced with the decision of saving either the cards or my wife. I feared I would chose wrong, and save my wife. Since she doesn't fit in the box, I took the cards to the bank instead.

Good humor considering your circumstances! Be safe Orlando!

Oh man! I fear for you (and your cards). Stay safe and may your cards stay dry!

Stay safe Orlando!! I am here in Nokomis, FL just south of Sarasota. Hope it jogs out into the Atlantic before it gets to Miami! Take Care! Marc

Thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone else in the Sunshine State and along the southeast coast. Really hoping this storm takes the path of going off into the Atlantic rather than making landfall and wreaking havoc.

I am hearing that a better idea than 95 might be to head west and then north towards and past Tampa. Lots of resorts and hotels over there. I agree that it is a tough call, but the Miami area could be in store for a real beatdown 48 hours from now.

Stay safe and dry whatever you end up doing. That goes for all net54ers in Florida and close to the ocean in Georgia and the Carolinas.

Scratch that. Now hearing 75 North might be an absolute debacle as well. Unless you know some back roads you can take.

Orlando - thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Residing in Houston, my family and I lived through Harvey over the last couple weeks.
Even though our home was spared, many Houstonians are not nearly as fortunate. The positive from this devastation, many neighbors, first responders, churches, local govt, complete strangers, people from all states, etc. have all come together to make a positive impact in helping Houstonians/Houston recover as quickly as possible by providing the basic necessities and anything else needed or required to help get them back in their homes. Sometimes a tragic situation brings out the very best in people.
