    Final Thoughts

    Written by John Packard


    Our corporate office building and my home are in the path of Hurricane Matthew. We have evacuated and are in Bradenton, Florida for the next couple of days with hopes that our office, home and neighborhood will still be there when we return over the weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who decided to remain behind which includes two of my neighbors who are disabled and need special equipment and one of our employees.

    The issue that worries me is the storm surge which in our area of Florida could be as high as six feet. To make matters worse the storm is hitting at high tide. Our office is located on the second floor of an older office building that did not protect their windows. Our office faces east (towards the ocean).
