[quote:The_Meridian:MV81MjQzNTE4Xzk2NTg1NTEwX0IyMzdBQzEx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 80005771:MV81MjQzNTE4Xzk2NTg1NDMwXzgxQzNBNEE0] Prayers being sent. Why did they not evacuate? [/quote] I think that at first everyone expected the storm to go towards Louisiana or Texas like it usually does. Or, once going over Cuba it would lose steam, as it usually does. Finally, in my fam's particular case, nowhere to go, not a lot of income, this sort of thing. In my Mom's case, her husband is kind of infirm and hard to drag anywhere... There's a whole senior thing in Florida that kind of limits options. I regret that I didn't pay much attention or take it seriously until 2 days ago, or I would've flown my Mom up here but I'm not sure the logistics of how that would've worked with her husband and his condition(s) anyway.

My Mom, Grandmother and Uncle all live in Between Tampa and Ft. Meyers, right on the water and Ian is bearing down on them directly, the outer whips lashing their homes and boards are flying off as we speak.
Water is coming through one front door, (My Mom's) and no way to the roof, and would probably blow away even if they could get up there.
The worst is yet to come.
Please pray for EVERYONE at Peril on the Gulf Coast.
I fear it may be a long while before I can establish whether or not they made it through once comm goes all the way down, which I suspect will be sooner not later :(
Dark times. All directed, positive energies mental and spiritual much appreciated.
