Arrived in Orlando safe and sound

We arrived in Orlando Florida around 7pm tonight. We are in a very nice hotel called Quality Suites on US 192 if you know where that is. Anyway, we were very surprised that they were able to hook us up with a quality place to stay vs the RV nightmare when we went down to Louisiana and Mississippi the beginning of September. There are four of us in a split level suite with two master bedrooms a connecting kitchen and living room area. Of course there is high speed wireless Internet which is enabling me to write you this update. LOL... We are watching CNN and from what I can tell SW Florida got hit pretty hard. There is lots of flooding and property damage. Apparently there was loss of life thanks to people not heeding the warnings to evacuate. There is NO excuse for people to try and ride out a Cat 2 or 3 hurricane in a trailer park. What is wrong with these folks anyway? Orlando has beautiful weather and there are no signs of any affect from the weather. I would imagine that tomorrow morning we will get our duty assignments and I would imagine that it will be much further south of here. The state of Florida did not allow us to cross over the border with weapons so we will have to be unarmed which none of us are thrilled about. So pray for safety for those of us that might be faced with looters in the middle of the night. Hopefully not too much of that will happen here in Florida.
