I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.

My house is at the end of the street and it ended up with everyone’s shingles in the yard once the water receded.

Wow, that’s terrible. A stilt home sounds like a good idea. Hurricanes are one of many reasons I stayed in Las Vegas after the big D. Could have moved back to Tarpon Springs.

I wouldn’t want to live here on anything but stilts. What I appreciate about hurricanes is that there is enough warning to get out. Earthquakes, fires and tornados do not.

That’s a darn good point! I’ve been in Vegas seven years, have yet to feel any kind of quake, I hope it stays that way but there’s no warning! I used to live in Dunedin in the 1990s, lost the house, car and too many things in a major flood. The home was on the Intracoastal waterway…

Thanks, it was long ago. My daughter was two years old at that time, I still have some good memories! 🌴

Sometimes we just, need to, return to the basics: food, shelter, being able to feel love and offer it to others, and life will, fulfill itself.

So true. These events very much highlight priorities.
