Sometimes I think we should rename ‘Sumter’ to ‘Sumpter’. Trying to remember there is no “p” just doesn’t come naturally for a lot of us. I’ll have to research the background of the name.

Happy to hear that the hurricane will be downgraded as my home (2007) is built to withstand sustained winds to about 116 mph. In the historic region, my parents owned a manufactured home as a seasonal, and in 15 years they replaced the roof once because a tree fell on it.
