'It seems to be pretty unpredictable,' says Tessa Langen, who relocated to Florida just last month
FORT MYERS, Florida — A Thunder Bay woman who just moved to Florida last month was preparing Wednesday to spend a somewhat anxious night watching the path of Hurricane Milton.They were hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.
The couple's home is about 32 kilometres inland "so we shouldn't have too big of an issue with the water," Rychel said in an interview at mid-afternoon, explaining that the property is about 10 to 12 feet above sea level. "Everyone's pretty prepared here," Langen said. "Where we are, a lot of locals seem to be really calm. You never know, but I think we are so far inland we feel we're in a good place.""We're keeping a close eye on the situation. We've had the TV on the entire day, because things can change. It seems to be pretty unpredictable. We have our belongings ready just in case we have to leave.
She was worrying a lot for Rychel's aunt and uncle, who drove down from Sarasota to stay with the couple.
