Thanks so much NautiNurse for your hurricane threads and the very useful links.
To all that gave me advice and Collier County links for my Dad in Naples. He didn't leave the area, but as of today he's on the 3rd floor of a pet friendly hotel outside of the storm surge zone for up to a cat 3 hurricane. He may still have a memorable 1st hurricane experience, but I'm so relieved he's out of his coastal one-story home. I feel so helpless here in MI.
Thanks again everyone.
Prayers for all in the storm path and for everone who has loved ones in the storm path.
Good deal.
Sorry if I laid it on a little thick, I wanted him off that island. It's too low and old guys shouldn't oughtta be swimming around in Cat-2 storms.
Young guys either.
Here's a link to a map of FL counties:

Thank you for the update. Please keep us posted when you hear from your dad. We'll keep him in our prayers.
