The news here in Chicago made me feel as if the Florida Keys were going to be eliminated from the planet and I've been down there many times and it's such a beautiful place.

Although I've heard much damage has occurred in the keys I'm happy that you were spared and I'm glad that you posted that here for the rest of us to know

Hi Gary, Thanks for your concern and for posting your caring thoughts. Our employees evacuated too so I know they are personally safe. Don't know about their homes, etc. The photo below is from Key Largo about 20 miles from our home. The farther down the keys, the worse the damage . . .

On Grouper Lane in Key Largo, mud and storm surge fill the street as Category 4 Irma raked across the Florida Keys. Monroe County emergency managers fear the damage from Hurricane Irma in the Middle and Upper Keys could be severe.
