Opening the updates from NOAA as they post them. Spoke with my son this morning. Nothing I can do from here. Hoping for the best, but someone is going to get a STORM! Have seen a lot of different houses on this trip. Has given me lots of ideas on rebuilding... 8)

Nice little Brookie Craig. Wishing Idalia goes well north of Tampa for you. Tom
