    The sound of the wind sounds like a mix of cars racing far out in the distance, and wind howling during a blizzard or a scary movie 😩😩
  • @ndan3746
    I was wondering about you ! Thanks for checking in!
  • There are a ton of lineman from my area of northeast Texas down there working right now. Prayers for Florida.
  • FYI -Wawa is a convenient store chain, originating in the Philadelphia area. They have 100's of stores now. It is also frequented by the rudest people on earth, who leave their vehicles at the pump after filling up, regardless if there are other people waiting to fill up during busy times. They are also unable to differentiate between the regular trash cans, and the ones designated for recycling. You will find all types of trash in both bins.

    Congratulations Kelly you survived the storm. In the 58 years I have lived here in Florida I have been through 8 major hurricanes it is a blessing when you come through one every time. Take care
  • @rolandatc9197
    My sister was on at the Ft Myers Hospital during the storm. Power outages, water was out, fire in the building, flooded ER but they kept it together and kept the patients safe. Glad you made it through with limited damage.
  • That was well documented. Thanks for posting it. Like you, we were spared the horrific damage and my heart is broken for those folks in the direct path.
  • @jpro5232
    Your reporting was more real than any of the tv stations. Glad your ok. It broke my heart to see all the folks that lost everything. Florida strong !
  • Used to ride the hurricanes out at sea. Had a 42 foot Morgan sloop. A friend ( retired special forces) would head to sea because there was less chance of damage to the sloop than leaving it docked in the slip. We took turns roping our selves to the helm in case the boat would roll. Came close but never completely rolled. We had a 17 foot keelthat would turn us back up right if we rolled. We would take off from Marathon Florida. Yee Ha ! Thank you for sharing this. So glad your safe.

    We rode out Hurricane Irma at our home in Central Florida. We lost some of our roof and didn't have power for almost 2 weeks. Ian hit Fort Myers really hard. We had massive flooding from Ian. I'm glad your RV was safe. God is good, indeed.

    Rule #1 in FL...stay away from windows and doors!!!!!!
  • @TheMVCoho
    Adventist Hospitals are the best! Glad you made it and so nice you have your own office to stay in.
  • @markviers998
    Glad you're home survived. That was a beast of a storm from the pictures I've seen. Sweet cot the hospital provided.. Last time I had to stay over night here at the one I work for I slept in the floor with just the pillow I brought from home so hat's off to your employer.
  • @jeffcrisp5213
    Well, You now have another adventure under your belt, Welcome to Florida :)
  • @swhite8381
    My family was in Port Charlotte . We have never been so scared . I kept thinking the next gust was going to take our roof. We definitely had damage but we can love in our home with a temporary tarp so we feel very blessed . I am sorry for all the people who lost everything
  • @vadaboy
    Glad to see you are still safe an that your home still stands. Happy to see James again. Hope he made it to safety.
  • Good vlog on your hospital stay over, howling winds got my attention. Good thing you’re camper avoided a really close shave 🪒
  • @frolege1
    Yeah, I have 3 sisters in Cape Coral with no power or water .. they are living in a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale since
  • That is a very nice cot. If you get one, get one similar but that has the posts for a mosquito net over it. That kind of cot will allow you to have two storage bins under it which is very convenient. If you use it outside with the net set up, you can throw a tarp over it too. You should not have gone outside flying debris causes nasty injuries. Hurricanes are scary, aren't they? Glad that you're okay. When you and James settle down to a house be sure that it can handle hurricane winds(which also helps it to withstand blizzards). Thanks for posting this good video. Good Luck, Rick
