I went toe to toe with Hurricane Ian on September 28, 2022. This was probably the craziest day of my life.
After 48 hours of anticipation and anxiety we were on the receiving end of a furious storm, pummeling our house with 100mph winds for hours and hours and hours.
A storm we thought would miss us, came and punched us square in the nose.
This morning, the sun rose, and I am grateful for today.
To be here.
With my family.
With four walls and a roof.
And just 40 miles to the west of me, things have completely disappeared.
And as I process through this, the thoughts that ring in my ears are bitingly poignant clichés about how precious our moments are.
How delicate and fragile we are.
How we need to continually to return to what really matters in this very short, very crazy, very beautiful life.
And of course, being an actuary, I am thinking about uncertainty and risk.
