Hurricane Ivan is speeding up the corridor and I wonder if we should return or stay put. Ivan could pummel Brevard by Monday night. While things are returning to normal there, gasoline is still problematic. If Ivan causes another mass evacuation, there may not be enough gas to get everyone out.
Dad reminded me to say we have the Honda with us but only because Gera drove it while I drove the RV. We didn’t have time to outfit the Honda and RV with a baseplate and towbar, so we used our Talkabout family radios to communicate between vehicles. It worked very well but I’m looking forward to having the Honda towable for our leisurely trip out West. Before the evacuation we were debating if we’ll need a tow car or not. There is no longer any doubt that we want a “toad” to see the sites while leaving the RV connected up at the various campgrounds we’ll visit.
Mom & dad’s Melbourne neighbors were kind enough to drive by our rental house and check things out for us. Happily, the house itself seems completely intact. Fence slats and a large cactus are down and a satellite dish is a little worse for wear, but everything else seems fine. It’s a great relief. Thanks Carl, Ginney & Ricky!
