Ed Kondrat, left, drove more than 1,200 miles from Michigan to Florida to help his 99-year-old aunt, Mary Pawlowski, evacuate before the arrival of hurricane Irma. Shown, Mr. Kondrat and Ms. Pawlowski on Saturday, Sept. 9. For years, he and his wife, Ronny, have tried to persuade Ms. Pawlowski to come live with them in Michigan. “ ‘What about my stuff, my home?’ she says to me,” Mr. Kondrat said. Ms. Pawlowski said she was surprised her nephew showed up and devastated to leave—but glad to be safe.
