In this special "double hurricane" episode, we'll talk in depth about Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which hit Florida within 13 days of each other. We live fairly close to the Gulf of Mexico and experienced it first hand. We didn't spend much time editing this episode because we wanted you to hear it within just a few days after Milton and hear our experience and perspective. This episode was recorded just 6 days after Milton, which gave us time to see the aftermath first hand. As we recorded this episode, there are still flooded roads and homes, thousands without power, and life is just starting to go back to normal here on the affected areas of Florida. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all people affected by these storms, including people in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and especially western North Carolina.
