Wilma rapidly approaching

Even though it's just now reaching the west coast of Florida, about four hours from us, tthe wind is gusting outside already. The storm has picked up speed and a few tornados have set down.

Here's the morning Washington Post Online.

I don't know if we'll lose power or not, but the odds are that we will. Yes, I'm nervous. No, I didn't sleep well...not at all since around 3 30. Last year did a number on me with two hits in my area. I hear the word 'hurricane' and my stomach tightens up.

The lights are flickering again. I'll post this and sign off.

I hope the eye does not pass over you, because around that rim is where the worst of it comes to bear. My thoughts are with you too. Take care!

Pris- I am writing from work. I have no power at home.

I lost all my trees (3 forty foot trees in front of the house are gone), no pool enclosure, and no fence. It got blown away

I got trees IN my pool and some roof damage. Not too bad. The house itself is habitable. Thank God.

I pray you and Didi are okay.
