Thank you, Glen Leach for sharing this powerful photo! Why so powerful? Because we're standing together and standing strong through Hurricane Milton by "Lighting It Up Blue" 💙. FABI will soon be setting up a donation link, with proceeds benefiting hurricane victims and the FABI Inspection Assistance Fund to support inspectors impacted by this devastating storm. As we weather the storm, we want to see your photos—tag them with and 🙏🏻. The storm is strong, but together, we are stronger!

Our thoughts and prayers are with our entire FABI Family during this incredibly challenging time as Hurricane Milton approaches our state. Please stay safe, and remember to lean on this community and Facebook group as a valuable resource for support, both during and after the storm.
