Thank you Frances:
We are homeless. Well, we have a home in North Carolina, but we can't get there: Trapped in South Florida. A moving truck full of our possessions is sitting in front of our old (empty) house. We and our cats are staying with relatives. We were ready to leave Thursday afternoon but the stories of terrible traffic and no gas in Central Florida made us stay. Now we wait for Frances to pass. This will take awhile: we hear the traffic jams are still affecting Georgia all the way to Atlanta (the route we take). Meanwhile, we boarded up and now are watching lots of rain and moderate wind.....yesterday the power was out several hours during the day. So far so good today.....
