Actually some people we met at lunch today were part of that road traffic! They explained that they had been driving for 14 hours - 4 year-old and 9 month-old along with them. They came back to our house to rest a bit and then we invited them to have dinner and sleep over. We had a wonderful dinner with them!
Once they decided to leave Orlando, the first hotel they could reserve was all the way to Nashville! They plan to leave in the morning and go the rest of the way.  All the best - Lynn

Hi Lynn

Thinking of you and all in the path of this devastating storm. This is terrific information for appropriate preparation - hopefully many will see this who are not yet prepared.

It is so lovely here today - we went swimming and are enjoying calm weather. Yet looking at a weather report signals that is about to change. Thanks for your thoughts. All the best - Lynn

All over Atlanta, organizations put together lists of people willing to open their homes to the IRMA refugees. See comment #2 - "did it my way!"  We have a family of four staying with us now. On Monday, we expect five others plus a dog if they cannot leave in the morning when their hotel reservations end! At least we already knew one of them! All the best - Lynn
