Mike’s Family Unheard From After Hurricane Irma

My wife Karin's parents live in Sugarloaf Key, MM 17. The last we heard from them was Sunday morning as the eye of Hurricane Irma was approaching their house.

They chose not to evacuate. This was the text from my Mother-In-Law...

This was part of Baby's Coffee, at MM 15 just 2 miles down US 1 from my in-laws. I had coffee there, two weeks ago...

Incredible destruction of US 1, the only road in and out of the Florida Keys. This is what it looks like just west of Marathon Key. I've driven this road many times...

The hardest part is waiting, and not hearing any news from our family. All communication has been totally wiped out, and likely to be, for quite some time.
