To all the eBay C&PM posters here in Florida......hope you weather the hurricane. I left Ft. Lauderdale Thursday morning for Gainesville. A typical 5-1/2 hour trek took 10 hours. The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore didn't show up in my neighborhood, so, hopefully I will have a home to return to. Thumbs up !!!

Hope you're OK.
Given the power situation, I guess we shouldn't expect to hear from you for a while.

thank you... we made it thru the storm with minimal difficulties, no real problems... never even lost power!
until last night... came back on this morning after about 13 hours...
hope everybody else was as lucky...

Here we go again.
There's a Cat 5 ill wind named Dorian just 200 miles east of mi casa with sustained winds of 185 mph. Unbelievable !!! Hope I don't end up as flotsam in Kansas.

Be sure to protect your paper money accumulation. Those extra large
'leaf bags' of plastic are helpful for protecting paper items.
Winds at 185! Wow... now THAT is a nasty weather condition.
Take care. Leave us have a status report every so often.
