Wow everyone! My prayers are with you all. Jim, hope your MIL will be okay.
If I could bring you a tank of gas or a case of water (or wine), I'd be there. Probably not what you are thinking about right now but are all the orchids indoors?
I gave my deaf Uncle a Medical Alert (that called numbers and played a recorded message) that he wore around his neck. He wouldn't take it off, even to shower. He fell about 100 yds from his house and broke his hip. He told me he pushed the button a lot but no one came.
They are not as foolproof as we would like to think.
I finally have something blooming:
Dendrobium Enobi "Purple Splash" just starting to bloom - first of 3 spikes
Bulbophyllum Meen Mercury Sandel (Yellow Clone) x B. echinolabium - first of 2 spikes
My anticipation is that a wilted cutting that Curtis Gean gave me last fall is going to bloom!
