Our Florida house is on the gulf just south of Hermine's path. I was
supposed to be down there this week but had to cancel my trip for some
urgent medical appointments. Our dock and davit are completely under water
but luckily that's it. Not sure yet if there is any damage to be repaired.
Thank heavens for flood insurance.
