    Help or the house is passed down through family. They make 200k a year combined and can only afford to rent at 3200.00 a month. We left 5 years ago and got our daughter to follow. We'll keep trying.

    Plus 1 for Steve, 53driver. I'll do what I can to help. Looks like we're just going to get lots of rain here in central FL.

    Ewreck, They bought the house outright and then put them on a reduced payback 30 year plan. That was the only way they could afford to stay. Their combined income was maybe half of what you stated. They could not afford a doghouse for what they make. Honestly California is split between Million/Billionaires and homeless.

    Heading down on the bike to Mexico Beach for a SCRC Rally in a couple of weeks. Hope the motel and restaurants are still standing after this storm with my namesake comes ashore. Really don't think we will get much here other than rain, so riding it out at home. I'm about a mile from the Beach but have good elevation.

    Mexico Beach might be relocated to Mexico proper.
    This storm is heading right there.

    So, we're up to a Cat 4 now.....

    Going to shelter in place.
    We're west of the impact point, on the backside of the winds.
    40' above sea level - no storm surge or flooding issues
    Wind will be windy - duh.
    Tree damage to house is my only concern, but I've got large tarps and a serious chainsaw to provide "first aid" to the roof should it become necessary.
    Got a whole house generator.
    'Adequate' ATF supplies to properly welcome & 'relax' any/all visitors seeking shelter, as well as defend against all enemies, foreign & domestic.
    Got enough food to feed the neighborhood for a week.
    Got a leg of lamb cooking now......
    It's all good.
