OMG my twenty year old grandson is in St. Lucia, Fl staged in a building at the fairgrounds. He works with a company that clears out trees and helps get the power on. He sent a video of a huge tornado that traveled across the interstate right in front of his truck. He has been gone since Helene hit. He is from Wilmington, NC. He has worked 18 hrs a day since Helene.

He must be ok now because they just announced the storm is drawing water out of Tampa Bay.That poor guy, Lieutenant Dan, who refused to leave his 20 ft boat, is not going to make it.
