Long story short:

My grandparents' apartment building in Florida was damaged enough by Charley that they are having to leave for 2-3 MONTHS while repairs are being made...so they're coming north to stay with my parents for a while. While they're here, they're going to my brother's wedding, which they hadn't planned on attending.

So, now that *they're* coming my other Grandmother who lives in Denver has decided that she wants to come, too. So she's flying in from Denver for the wedding.

How's that for an unexpected side result of Hurricane Charley?

The weird thing is that my grandparents hadn't planned on going to my sister's wedding in 1985, either...but had to evacuate the Keys (where they were living at the time) because of a different hurricane.

They came to MY wedding in 1982 with no hurricane intervention whatsoever. :)
 
Lol! My relatives condo is closer to Orlando, so they were okay! It really must be awful in the bad areas.:(
