Excellent series! Yesterday I started The Displacements by Bruce Holsinger. It’s about a Cat 6 hurricane making a direct hit on the Miami Dade area before crossing into to the Gulf of Mexico. So far so good but scary for those who live in hurricane prone areas, like me .

Have a good week everyone!
