So this week has truly been a hurricane event as we in Florida welcome an unwanted guest by the name of Irma. Already on Monday, a week prior to the actual storm, the gas stations were lined with cars waiting their turn; containers of all sizes of water flew off the grocery store shelves; plywood started showing up on the windows in the neighborhood and last but certainly not least, people fled the area for safer locations to wait out the storm. Whew! So many people evacuated that gas stations couldn’t keep up with the demand so the hunt for gas was on. Hotels were booked all the way to Nashville by midweek. Traffic was a nightmare all week long as people tried to escape. The governor closed the entire school system on Thursday. My church closed on Wednesday night to allow for the staff to take care of their plans for evacuation. As I said before, it has been an eventful week! |
