Eric, when I first heard that the storm was heading to Florida, you and your family's safety were first in my thoughts.

I know you've lived through these before, and have a good idea what to do. This one is exceptional and has a good probability of doing structural damage.

i've been through 8 hurricanes up to a category 3 on the coast in North Carolina. We're about a mile inland from the ocean, and a mile from the Cape Fear river. Most people don't understand that it's not 185mph of air blowing at you, it's a 185 mile per hour wall of accelerated water.

You'll continue to be in my thoughts. Please let us know you're safe.
