Focus Now on Hurricane Irma

There is nothing more important right now than to focus on the monster storm heading to Florida. It appears that the projected path of the storm is directly through the entire state. We have been watching the evacuations this morning on TV and there is no way that there is enough gas and/or time for all of those wanting to leave, to leave in time. I cannot remember any time in my life when there has been any threat to land by any storm that matches this threat. Our local concerns for the wildfire haze and bad air only pale in comparison to Florida's outlook. We are praying for all of those who are in the projected path of that horrible storm.

It is difficult to think about work today while all the attention is shifting to Florida. The weekend will not be pleasant for those in Florida, or for those that have family and friends there. The long term impact will be felt for years, just as it will in Texas. These are not the most happy times for many areas in our country. Throw in an 8.1 magnitude earthquake in Mexico this morning on top of that, and you feel grateful you are where you are at this time...
