Apart from heavy rain, some wind, and a brief power outage, their part of FL is in pretty good shape. They have some yard cleanup to do, and that’s it. They feel fortunate and relieved. He and his wife and my wife and I decided last week to book a house in the Bahamas the first half of November. Hurricane Milton had us thinking we might have to reschedule in case our friends received damage. They fared so well, no rescheduling is necessary!
