In my eagerness and relief at the change of track and the likelyhood that Matthew would not be visiting Virginia I completely overlooked the tragedy about to befall at least six couples on the SW Adventure caravan whose homes are directly on track on the Floridian east coast. Friends with homes in Jupiter, Titusville, Fort Lauderdale and nearby have become fatalist to the outcome and at least they still have an Airstream home on wheels they can tow! Several couples are planning on leaving the caravan from our current location in Santa Fe immediately to start the 2,000 mile trek east to go back to what is left of home to pick up the inevitable pieces! Our relief at not being in the eye of this category 4 monster is tempered by the life changing drama unleashed on our traveling companions! Humbling moments....
