68. I hear you, J_William_Ryan. Not fun at all.
Sun Oct 26, 2025, 09:54 AM
Sunday

Last year, under mandatory evacuation in SW Florida, I too scurried to escape Milton — along with my two precious pups and kitty who were scared to death. We headed for Alabama, which was closest pet-friendly hotel.

A freak car wreck on interstate put me in Dothan hospital for a solid week, nearly died, treated for physical and emotional trauma, losing mobility for months. As usual, zero family support.

So, I’m extra worried about malaise, and praying with all my might that she is safe, sound, and comes out on the other side with all the love, support, comfort and help of others, including our awesome and loving DU family.

Sending good energy and vibes to everyone in the path of Melissa.
💕❤️🙏
