It’s been a terrible couple of weeks.
The Rays season did not end as we all wanted, but I had every intention of supporting the club for the final series of the year. My eldest had been begging to get to a game, but then came Helene’s floodwaters, and instead of sitting in Fenway Park the Sunday before last I was on flight with a ticket purchased at the last minute.
Hurricanes come for all in Florida, but this was a first. Family members had between 6 inches and 4 feet of flooding. We spent the next week ripping drywall, exposing standing brackish water, and laboring in the Florida heat.
