Here comes Wilma....

I woke about a half hour ago to turn off the tv which we had on all night to discover rain and wind growing in intensity. The worst is yet to come as the news is telling us that the eye, which is now 40miles wide, won't pass near us until sometime between 3am and 6am this morning. It is now 2:30am.

I am not sure how long we will have power and am wondering if I should try to get some more sleep and give up and turn on the coffee.

It is very frustrating not being able to see out. Even though the storm shutters upstairs are clear, the view is not. The corregation of the shutters makes things look strange and warps what I can see.

Our neighbors' partners live on Sanibel and run Amy's Over Easy Cafe...they arrived from Sanibel yesterday afternoon due to the mandatory evacuation on San/Cap and all the barrier islands. There were lots of neighbors out and about last night right before we closed the garage door for the night and someone behind us was having a Hurricane Wilma party.

Keep us all in your thoughts please.
