Florida Says “Goodbye, Helene … and Good Riddance!!”

Thankfully, Mark and I in Sanford (and my son & family in Gainesville) got nothing from Hurricane Helene but some rain as it passed through our part of Florida on its way much farther north. We were incredibly lucky. Many folks along Helene’s route didn’t fare nearly as well, and so far, the loss of life totals 43! My heart goes out to everyone who has lost someone thanks to this storm, and to those whose homes have been damaged.  Praying those numbers do NOT continue to increase as the storm continues northward!
