Wilma

[Capt Chuck]

Here's a few pictures I took just from my property [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] I'm sure you have seen enough of the damage to South Fla. on the news.....

The first three pics shown were taken from within the house during the initial blow. You can see the screens being ripped out and the 100+ mph winds bending the trees and snapping off limbs. Blinding sheets of horizontal rain pelt the house.. Take notice of the 2'- 4' seas in the normally flat canal in my back yard.







This next shot shows my patio furniture I threw into the pool to keep from being tossed like missals by the category 3 wind gusts....



During the eye (approx 1 hour) the winds die a bit, the rain quits and then WHAM! they pick back up and slap ya hard from the opposite direction... It's kinda an eerie and silent aura!!!



Then afterwards the damage can be seen....









The sky clears and the night falls with a beautiful sunset



I'll sleep good tonight knowing my SeaCraft has yet made it threw 4 Hurricanes safe & sound [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
