Asking for some positive vibes. [View all]

Grandson is student at Florida Gulf Coast Uni in Fort Meyers. He is in school housing but they set up a shelter for those who can’t leave. We live in the Keys and didn’t want him on the road with hours of traffic and rain and tornado warnings. His roommate’s parents invited him to come and stay with them, big house, shutters, lots of food, nice and friendly family.

So what is my problem? … they live in Cape Coral, an area close to the gulf, known for flooding. If they get the storm surge… pretty guaranteed at this point… they could be in 10 feet of water.

I’m presently visiting family in Indiana so I’m no help to anyone. Freaking out just a little. He is 21 next week, but I helped to raise this one so he’s still my little boy.
