My daughter and her family live on the east coast of Florida, and they have everything battened-down.
6,000kw generator, wired into the house and function-checked, check.
Gasoline cans full, check.
All the cars full of gasoline, and the oil changed, check.
Food, water, beer, whiskey, all stocked-up, check.
All of the friends and neighbors assisted with the boarding-up of their windows, check.
Most of the neighbors gone and moved-inland, check.
My prayers go out tonight to my daughter and her family and friends.
And to their friends and associates in The Bahamas, and their relatives in Cuba.
My prayers probably don't amount to jack-s****.
I'm a lapsed-Catholic agnostic with a realistic view of the world.
But I'm praying anyway.
Screw it.
I'm proud of my Florida family and friends.
No matter how it goes over the next few days, they won't sit around pissing and moaning about what the State or Federal government did or didn't do, or what they should or shouldn't have done.
They just take care of their friends and family and neighbors, and they move on and take care of business.
Fingers crossed for a relatively-mild Matthew passage.
