The following was received from Marlene Moll. I'm not sure if there was a problem getting it to the correct spot, so I will err on the side of helpful concern, and post it for Marlene.
Hi Joe and Bev,As for the status of our place in St. Petersburg, we seem to have not had any trouble at this point. We feel very blessed in that Frances was to have hit directly in the Tampa Bay area and then she turned far enough into the Gulf and missed us. We do have friends in Punta Gorda who had major damage to their house, and for them and all the others we feel very bad. It certainly has been some hurricane season and it isn't over yet. Thanks for asking about us all.
