Hurricane Michael...the good; the bad; the ugly

ST. LOUIS, MO - - After a day and a half drive through grim, grey and wet weather, we arrived in St. Louis mid-Tuesday to visit friends.  And check on the path of the approaching hurricane.
     THE GOOD:  Hurricane Michael  wasn't headed in the direction of our home in Ormond Beach.
     THE BAD:  It was set to kick the crap out of the Florida panhandle.
     THE UGLY:  After the panhandle, the hurricane then cut a swath through portions of Alabama, and Georgia plus South and North Carolina.  This scrubbed our final trip destination which was close to Pinehurst, NC and right in the hurricane's path of destruction.
     Worse, any route to get  home to means we need to cut across hurricane ravaged areas.  We're keeping a close watch on areas with power outages,  Why??  No power, no working gas pumps.  Flooded or blocked roads could also be a problem. We'll wait until Friday evening to decide on a possible route.
