the storm at his home. he told me he lives five miles inland, and he is used to this kind of thing. now, that is the problem with this area and the hurricanes. florida is used to seeing hurricanes, but usually they hit the eastern part and the southern part of the state. now we are preparing to see hurricane idalia hit the big bend to the north at the west side of the state. that is where we are expecting to see the biggest impact. and so, even though people may be used to it, the reality is that this is a very dangerous storm, it is a serious business, it means that you have to take cover, if you have not already evacuated and you have to be prepared. you asked me about the storm surge, that is what we are worried about, here. if that ocean indeed comes anywhere to where we are right now, 4 to 7 feet of water is catastrophic amounts of water.
