I live in Titusville Fl. we lost power at 8:00PM on the tenth. I was taking care of my 100 year old mother at the time. She made it through the storm, but never heard it do to her bad hearing. On Tue. the 12 I could not wake her at midnight to try to feed her more water and ENSURE.
I called VITAS ( the hospice care she was using ) at 12:15 and they said that the on call nurse could not be there for a very long time because of the storm and if her breathing is not labored that I should wait for the daytime nurse to arrive at 10:00 in the morning.
At 4:30 I went in to check on her again (every 15 min ), she was breathing and sleeping but I could not awaken her. I went outside to smoke a cigarette and when I came back in she was no longer breathing.
100 years 10 months, 4 days
PS her final words to me were flash light, and I wrote to her on the white board - hurricane.

Sorry for your loss RJM.
100 years is a long life. It is nice that you had as many years as you did with her. Peace be with you.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Perhaps if people said that, they were unaware that only the Florida hurricane "counted" and were supposed to ignore the others as you did.
Actually I've heard less about climate change than I would have expected.

Climate change can not be discussed.
It would inevitibly involve politics, which is not allowed here.
Discussing climate change excluding the political issues would be hypocritical 🙁🙁

Yes and it would become HOT most likely as Many have different opinions about natural changing of the earth...
