The TV is giving out the dire predictions again. Hurricane Wilma, after vacationing in Mexico, is now headed straight for me.
Projected path is right over my house, so I expect to lose power (and a couple of trees) by morning.
I'm trying to load up on POTN browsing, cause I'll probably be offline for 2-3 days.
Batteries are all charged, and I'll try to get some photos during the storm. (No, I won't go outside, I'm not a dumb TV Reporter.)

See y'all in a few days. :(

Be a good time to dig out that water purifier and put the rubber raft in the attic - with a saw to get thru the roof as the water rises. Well, I suppose you guys aren't actually below sea level.

I was in a 120mph Typhoon on a 3 sq. mile island at 12' above sea level. Funny how they can damage the heck out of one place and leave the next door neighbor with minor damage. Good to have friends during the eye - and don't forget that part 2 (after eye) goes the other direction, that is, if it really does roll right over you.

Good luck and - the luck does favor the prepared.
