Florida and Hurricanes

There's so much to tell, and not enough ways. I left Louisiana- which was surprisingly difficult. I stopped to see old friends in near Destin, but it turns out that they are so incredible poor they don't have enough money for food most weeks. So heartbreaking. I took them out to eat. When I got here everything was in an uproar. Hurricane Irma was on the way. Who knows where she will make landfall, or if she would make landfall. Not only that, but come to find out Eve's "husband" has a tendency to go MIA. - Who woulda thought that he would do that yesterday and today, just before the hurricane hits florida? His "wife" and child are here alone. Crazy. I made friends with an old lady at the store- it turns out she has no one around. When I insisted that she take my number she legit started crying and said that she's not used to anyone caring. What?!?!?! Heartbreaking. My friend Carol lives about 15 miles south on her sailboat. She's under mandatory evacuation, but- she's not able leave because she has no car. She was preparing just to leave with only the things she could carry. What the hell. So, I'm going to go get her, and bring her up here. From here we'll decide what to do. We'll either leave first thing in the morning, (which I doubt) or, we'll wait out the storm and see what happens. There's a big chance that I will be bringing Eve home to Louisiana with me. We'll see how the storm plays out.
