Pricey storm, estimating irma alone will be among the top 5 most expensive storms in history, the ground in florida. Jeff could have been worse, not bad. It is an enormous storm, we are walking the beach, that is the gulf, not the ocean, that is the gulf of mexico, you can surf today and the wind has strung around, the storm has moved past us to the north, we are getting counterclockwise rotation directly off the gulf, this saved us from the storm surge yesterday.

No structural damage on the beach, with a category one by the time it got to the main population center, that is a positive, putting a positive spin on all of it but the headline is power, 62 of florida without power. As long as the wind is up the way it is, no one is climbing polls to fix it. Neil that is understandable. My best to you and your crew. People are ass

I have known sylvia a long time. Over 20 years. Sylviafirst encountered in the clinton administration, i thought of her as that friendly, competent young woman who worked for bob rubin at the National Economic council. I learned that sylvia was the go to person and a cando person. That was a useful person to have around. I also learned that she liked to keep in touch with real people out around america, not just in washington. And that she grew up in West Virginia.
