Was at the Fort Lauderdale beaches yesterday. Nice place to be, crowds were gone and restaurants had great sales on food and drink - reduced due to "hurricane prices". Only problem was the $20 to park for 0-4 hrs. Hard for a Chicago business man to wonder around in the heat and sun for even a small bit of that time.

Otherwise, this has been the slowest storm I have ever seen. Moving at 1 mile per hour and hundreds of miles away. The wait has been painful. But I am respectful of mother nature and keep my complaints to myself. Hotel tells me two years ago Irma hit them and they lost power for three days - yieps!

Currently a little bit of rain and a nice breeze coming in.
