Next time pack up those Sea Crafts and head to my house in Virginia to wait it out. You are all welcome here. Maybe leave one of those boats here as a loaner? I'm sure all will be fine on this one. Have a freind in Naples and I talk to him every 4-6 hours. Also glued to the Weather Channel. Hey by the way, Stefanie Abrams (WC Chick) is hot if you hadn't noticed. (Hence my weakness.......love everything old. Old boats, airplanes, cars, etc......except women....love the newer models). She gets me through the hurricanes.

You guys will be fine! Counting on it.

Wilma is Here ! 05:15 She came knock'n & I think FRED really pissed Her off. I dunno maybe He caught Barney looking up Her Skirt ! Within 45 Min. I've lost either all or part of all My trees,Neighbors across the street most of the trees are split or down. The winds are now changing so She passing. I















don't think we've seen the worst yet. Looks like were gonna be on the wall edge here. Can't see any structural damage yet but then I'm limited in viewing. as long as I can keep battery power up & this Gal moves on I'll keep the news.
Generator worked / ran / started for Katrina ? Hope all is well everywhere else!
