Hurricane Helene / Milton

[SDGsports]

Before anything else, my prayers go out to the victims and the families impacted by these two most recent hurricanes. I live in Fort Pierce Florida and just saw firsthand the devastation that can be caused by natural disaster. There are sections of this town devastated by tornadoes that look like a war zone. And this got me thinking .....

As we sheltered for the storm, my priority wasn't on my T206 collection and how would I keep them safe. Sure I have them locked up Waterproof, Fireproof, but that gun safe offers little protection against what we have been through.

This got me thinking about anyone around me affected by the tornadoes with some really cool cards in their collection, North Carolina and the devastating floods that have washed out that area. Acapulco and the mudslides, the fires in Wyoming, the storm surge that just ransacked Tampa Bay. Life is precious and must be protected at all cost, so I wonder how many of these rare pop cards are lost during these events, when cardboard is the last thing on your mind.

And for anybody who's wondering... I lost the back side of my roof, but I still have my Ty Cobb.
