About I was evacuated from my home in Venice on Thursday afternoon. I took refuge at my parents home about 17 miles north of Venice, and spent 9 hours on Friday, hunkered down in their home, along with the young family that lives next door to them. The hurrican shutters were sealed, and we waited, watching the news in order to stay informed of where and when the eye of the hurricane would come on land. The small community of Punta Gorda, twenty five minutes south of my home, has been devasted as have several other communities in the area. I never went outside until I knew for sure the storm had passed. This is the sight I saw from the balcony of my parents home last night around 7 PM. I returned to Venice this morning, to find my home just as I left it...but my heart aches for my neighbors south of me. I thank all my friends here at Usefilm, that sent me letters and kept me in their thoughts. There were times, I was tempted to step outside and get some photos, but my better judgement would not allow that...lol...that, and I had promised my parents, who are still up in NY...that I would not do anything foolish. I know one member of Usefilm, who is away on vacation in Tennesee, has a home in an area that was hit very hard...I ask all of my friends here to keep Glen Edminston in their prayers, that all will be well for him, when he returns to Port Charlotte.

you have been in my thoughts and prayers since you last posted and left. Glad you made it alright, however there are so many who didn't. This was a bad one and many have suffered. Andrew, Charlie, I think they better stop naming them after men.....

Oh my God! I never thought you were that close to the events. I am so glad that you are safe and fine. The experience of hurricanes is no fun at all. You have captured a great shot though here. It is a shot that will be documented for sure. Cheers Gloria and glad that you are safe my dear friend.
