My mom is north of Sarasota in Parish with my sister. Mom is over 90 and wasn't up to a - for her - long car trip with me. They've lost power, but the house is new, well-built, and shuttered. They're drinking wine and reminiscing in the storm. My sister and I are Florida natives, and mom came here in 1950. We've all been through a lot of hurricanes.
