Hurricane Wilma
Antigen:
Anybody hearing anything? I'm getting that the Tampa Bay area is alright, the beach around Pompano is w/o power, but not too messed up, Sunrise area is really messed up. My li'll bro in law was walking down the middle of University Blvd cause there are so many trees down you can't navigate the sidewalks. He's fine, but his appartment lost it's roof. He and his roomie spent a couple of days in a shelter.
Anybody else?

The Keys got it pretty bad but we've been assured that things will be back to normal by Thanksgiving when we go. Hope everyone else is OK.

One damn strange storm.
My sister took a direct hit on Marco Island...eyewall hit. Marco was up and running the next day, electric and everything. She lost her screen room but nothing more.
My other sister is north in Venice Florida. Nothing but high winds. I am way north of tampa and had 5 hours of 40 mph winds.
Ft Lauderdale is expected to be without power for another week and got hit harder, as did miami. Apparently the trip across the everglades actually strengthened the storm a bit due to the high warm water conditions in the glades right now. It just doesn't make much sense.

Charlotte county (South of Venice, but North of Ft. Myers) got very little damage - we didn't even lose power here - but it blew the blooms off a few plants.
Boca Raton is still without power - and the cell service is sketchy as well... I'm still waiting on an update from a friend down there. Yet parts of Miami has power, as reported by someone else.
I don't think we'll see another storm this year though - judging by the temperature. I hope I'm right?
Antigen:
A good friend in Ft. Lauderdale lost his mother Monday. She'd been quite ill for a long time, had a medical emergency but there just wasn't ambulance service available. I haven't exactly been glued to storm coverage. But does it seem that they're rather underplaying the effects in Dade and Broward?
There are not enough jails, not enough policemen, not enough courts to enforce a law not supported by the people.
