Default Damn hurricane Wilma

I poster this last year.........


Well I am in Ft. Myers and about to get hit by some gay *** hurricane so I am saying farewell in case I dont make it through the storm.
I will not be giving my F body to anyone as I have made arrangements to have them dig a EXTRA LARGE hole and bury me inside the TA.

Anyways this is geting pretty neat.
The most nasty hurricane I have ever been in by the way things look.
I have lived here my whole life and things should be interesting.
You Tampa guys are lucky, it took a huge turn this morning.
Anyways good luck to anyone else in this storm, I sure am happy we have a stout house.




Looks like just 14 months later its on like donky kong again.
Good luck to everyone is Fla and lets pray this isn't too nasty.

Yes it looks like you are gonna have some good winds and rain in FtMyers. I guess up here in Orlando its not gonna be nearly as bad. I lived in FtMyers for 17 years and only had 1 hurricane, it looks like your getting them every year nowadays.
Hope everyone in south and central FL stays safe and gets through this storm OK.

Best wishes, Dave

Yep. Alot of people blew this hurricane off as a weak one. 125mph winds are nothing to scoff at when your house isn't boarded up. I drove around yesterday evening and was amazed at the amount of houses not boarded up.

I'm at work and we are barely getting rain. It's just a little sprinkle with maybe 10-15mph winds. I'm in marion county though. But still, I was expecting a lot worse.

Dodged another one here in Sarasota. So far like 60ish mph bursts every so often. My car is covered in pine needles and a 3" thick tree branch about 20 feet long is 10 feet away from it in the neighbors yard.

My best to you guys on the other side of the state.
