HOPING EVERYONE'S SAFE FROM HURRICANE IRMA by Stephanie Barker


      
       Since both Israel and I live in emergency evacuation zones initially both of us were extremely concerned. We were planning to hunker down at my apartment which initially seemed safer, despite knowledge that it was in a surge and high wind zone. Then I unexpectedly received a call from a friend in California who was saying “you need to evacuate now”. When I explained that financially this was not an option, she took me totally by surprise offering to wire us money. Extremely grateful I accepted. The money was there in twenty minutes. Israel being computer savvy located us a hotel. We stayed one night and the hotel was evacuated. Israel on the job again. Helpful as always, located a safer hotel. We are currently in residence. We then went grocery shopping for non-perishable foods and water. Our back up plan if we need to leave here is to go to the airport, since it will remain open twenty-four hours.
       We are staying glued to the news, as well as remembering self-care and our WRAP plans. We are taking time to watch other television shows, write, do crossword puzzles, and read.
       Bless everyone and your families.
