YEAH, GUYS. KATIE JACEK SAYS COMING HERE TO THE AIRPORT AND FLYING OUT TO ANNA MARIA ISLAND, FLORIDA FOR HER WEDDING. JUST SIMPLY CANNOT HAPPEN. BUT SHE TELLS ME SHE’S STILL GOING TO GO AHEAD WITH HER WEDDING. JUST A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO HOME HERE IN PITTSBURGH. BUT NOW WE ARE LIKE FACED WITH THE TASK OF PLANNING ANOTHER WEDDING IN JUST A MATTER OF THREE WEEKS. KATIE JACEK VACATIONS EVERY YEAR ON ANNA MARIA ISLAND. SHE GOT ENGAGED THERE AND IT WAS ONLY FITTING THAT SHE HELD THE WEDDING OF HER DREAMS THERE. SHE SAYS. WITH HURRICANE HELENE AND NOW MILTON, SHE KNEW THE OUTCOME WOULD NOT BE GREAT. ELAINE HITTING DOWN ANNA MARIA ISLAND AND NOW MILTON HITTING ANNA MARIA ISLAND AS WELL. WILL THERE BE ANYTHING LEFT? SHE SAYS AS LONG AS HER VENUE AND VENDORS WERE SAFE, SHE WOULD STILL BE GOING DOWN TO FLORIDA FOR HER WEDDING. EVERYTHING CHANGED WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF HURRICANE MILTON. HELENE. IT ONLY DID MINIMAL DAMAGE AND THEY SENT US A MESSAGE THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY. THE WEDDING IS STILL ON AND THEN MILTON IS HITTING AND THE SURGE THAT IS EXPECTED IS LIKE 12 FOOT. AND THAT IS NOTHING IS SURVIVABLE DOWN THERE. NOW, SHE SAYS SHE’S TAKING EVERYTHING ONE STEP AT A TIME. ALL WHILE STILL TRYING TO SEARCH FOR A VENUE, FLORIST, DJ AND PHOTOGRAPHER BEFORE HER NOVEMBER 3RD DATE. AND IF THAT STRESS IS NOT ENOUGH, SHE SAYS, WHAT HURTS THE MOST IS SEEING HER FAMILY DOWN IN FLORIDA HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS ALL OVER AGAIN. SEEING MY FAMILY HAD TO LIKE, GET ALL THEIR PERSONAL BELONGINGS TOGETHER AND QUICKLY MOVE OUT. WITHIN THIS PAST WEEK WHEN THEY WERE JUST AT THEIR HOUSE, HAVING TO CLEAN EVERYTHING OUT. I AM PRAYING FOR ALL THE ISLANDERS AND EVERYBODY WHO IS AFFECTED THROUGH MILTON’S PATH. I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW THAT MY LOVE AND PRAYERS, THEY ARE WITH YOU GUYS. NOW, KATIE TELLS ME ALL OF HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO BOOKED FLIGHTS DOWN TO FLORIDA. THEY ACTUALLY ALL GOT CANCELED AS WELL, BUT SHE’S STILL LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BEST OF IT. EVEN HOPEFUL ABOUT TOURING A VENUE TOMORROW. FOR NOW, REPO
