Update: Our old waterside neighbourhood in Tampa Bay is pretty battered but was spared the worst after Milton took a late dip south towards the unfortunate Sarasota area.
Clean-up will take months and there's a ton of damage but our old house is still standing.
However the psychological damage of the 1-2 shot of Helene and Milton will last much longer.
Our eyes now turn to the Atlantic coast off Africa with another system of rough weather forming in advance of our Transatlantic cruise.
Crossing the Bay of Biscay can be lively this time of year.
