Hurricane night

Winds whip the palm fronds, the rain peppers the roof. Hurricane Milton, October 9. 2024.

Milton works his way across the Florida peninsula. Made landfall this evening near Sarasota with 100-plus mph winds. Inland on the Florida East Coast, we get the fringes of the storm. I am snug inside our friend Cathy's condo. It's almost new, built to the latest codes. Power still on. Watched Mets advance to National League finals. Interviewer snagged Cheyenne homeboy Brandon Nimmo. He was in Annie's elementary school class. I hope he was nice to her.

I go to bed with the sounds of Milton in my ears...
