Publisher's summary

Have you ever considered the repercussions from one of the worst hurricanes to ever hit the US? Such an event magnifies not only the loss of lives, fortunes, possessions, but everyday stresses. Flushing the commode, finding food and gas, everything becomes a challenge when life changes overnight. How do people survive all of these trials as they watch common occurrences become impossible challenges? How is it possible to maintain one's sanity?

Table 36 describes the assault of Hurricane Michael, as it raped the land, carving his path inside two small coastal towns in Gulf and Bay Counties, Florida, on Wednesday, October 10, 2018. This monster hit at 2 pm on a typical steamy day. One of the restaurants, Sunset Coastal Grill which was annihilated in Port St. Joe, Florida, relates this horror. It may sound strange to think of a table sharing an event. Where is life more fluid and diverse than a restaurant? Imagine, if walls could talk inside any of our favorite dining establishments? Lovingly told through fiction and fact, you will never forget the two towns which survived a monster not once, but two times in their long history. Never, did residents lose faith in God or love for each other as the towns worked to rebuild.

This remarkable tale of survival is told through contributions from the communities of Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, and Table 36 inside the once beautiful, Sunset Coastal Grill.
