What free sand bags?
We have home nxt to our daughter in Nokomis
No generators but they have friends in two locations--
Inland Sarasota and North Port
I feel so frustrated not there to help shop or get house ready
They had hurricane impact windows installed a year or so ago and no shutters
At ours we put shutters up b4 we left

We saw photo of Houston house
They used black trash bags w/water for bulk tied up and mounded in front of doors...
But Houston had no hurricane wind--rain and more rain

Sorry, I just saw this. They gave out lists of places to get free sand bags but you have to bring your own shovel.

I keep thinking about all the elderly down there in Florida. All over the state. We always talk about the high numbers, especially in Venice. It's kind of scary! I hope they are all looking out for each other.
