Shareb Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Hi all - been a while since I've been in here. I've been watching the news from the other side of the world about Hurricane Ian and I've been wondering about all my Floridian friends. Holly is in Florida I believe?? Everything okay???? Hoping you're all doing well and are safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Thank you for worrying, Rebecca; holly is just over the state line in Alabama, about one mile from Florida; but one mile from the westernmost part of the panhandle, and several hundreds of miles from Hurricane Ian. My eldest son is in the Ft Myers area and I still have not heard from him... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm so sorry Holly, you must be desperate for news.....I suppose a lot of the communication networks will be down which doesn't help. It was the same here when one of our cities had a big earthquake - we didn't know where my niece was for hours, all we knew was she had been near buildings that collapsed. I'm thinking of all those affected and I do hope you hear from your eldest son soon. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Holly, please let us know when you hear from him. This is bringing back memories of pacing through emergency shelters in Houston searching for elderly relatives caught in Katrina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I tried calling him but he hasn't activated the voice mail feature on his phone. I'm assuming he & his present wife have moved to Port Charlotte, as they told us when we last saw them at the hubs' mom's funeral in early April. This is the drama kid, so not hearing from him is SOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
