That's who cares.
My walk down memory lane brings me to a weather incident before Irma and we were only here about a month. We knew nobody but noticed everyone loading up to get outta town. Seeing this heightened our worry when Irma was coming toward us. Tuccillo was a major part of helping us keep our heads on. We were ready to stay and ride out the storm when we received a call from a friend who evacuated at his wife's and 95-year old mother's request to Tifton Ga.

After they arrived in Georgia he called me as said it may be a good idea to spend some time with them. We were in the car and the 5-hour ride took about 9 hours. We were and always will be grateful to them for their hospitality. The home that we arrived at had its own wing just for us. We were not roughing it at all.

My point. Everyone who lives here was new at one point. Some people are a little more stable than others. After 5 years I count myself as able to digest information from all sources and make a good decisions on my own. I didn't have that skill when I moved here.
So newbies ask all the questions you have. Many people are here to help you. For us, it was and still is Tuccillo and a few others.

People have different recollections about where they were during and after Irma and the time it was there and blah blah blah. Who cares. That one is done. Let's deal with what we have in front of us now. Let's try and be constructive with the posts in this thread.

So far it looks like we are staying. Five years ago I'd be packing the car already.
