Hope it doesnt hit as hard as last years! :fingerscrossed:

They've been saying Wilma was the most powerful Category 5 hurricane on record...

Yikes.

Stay dry and safe, Evie.

I hope so too Eve!!!

I saw Wilma's predicted path on the weather. I thought it was going to hit the lower part of FL. Sorry to hear that it is heading your way. :grumble:

Eve, just make sure, if it's coming your way, to leave before everybody. You don't want to get stuck on the highway or out of gas like most people in the last 2 hurricanes. :say_gdluck:

There's at least a good news.
Wilma
Wilma briefly grew into a Category 5 storm before weakening to a Category 4 with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph.

The bad news:
Wilma is the record-tying 12th hurricane of the Atlantic season, the same number reached in 1969. Records have been kept since 1851.
On Monday, Wilma became the Atlantic hurricane season's 21st named storm, tying the record set in 1933 and exhausting the list of names for this year.
The six-month hurricane season does not end until Nov. 30. Any new storms would be named with letters from the Greek alphabet, starting with Alpha.
Pictures of Wilma Check that elephant. Awesome suction power. :bonk:

I heard it had the lowest record barometric pressure in history. 850 millibars or something...Talk about Hoover suction. :nut:

But I heard it will weaken to a Cat 2 or 3 by the time it makes landfall in Southern Florida. :fingerscrossed:

Hey everybody!!
Thanx for all the well wishes. :say_thanx:
Im pretty prepared already. Lots of candles etc,
I have plenty of emergency water for the horses, approx 500 gallons I'll be setting out. So even if power is out for a week Im still OK.
And I have a portable battery for jumpstarting a car. :thumbsup: So I can recharge my laptop and watch dramas and anime ;)
during the worst of the weather. :hehe: :hehe:

It would be nice, but all the horse farm people head home rather than evacuate. All the horses want dinner no matter what the weather so we're stuck. It's fine though. Im about 40 miles off the coast. Winds didnt go above 80 mph at the worst last year and my place is pretty protected so Im thinking 50 mph was the worst on property, Not too bad. :sweat:

Today was nice though. A cool morning turned into a summery afternoon in the low 90's. :D

IMHO, it's probably the hardest full time job there is. No weekwends, no day off, no vacations. :bow:

Hang in there!

@Eve: Glad to hear you're prepared :woot: :dancing:
Hope nothing bad will happen to ya :fingerscrossed:
Enjoy watching your drama and anime :hehe: :victory:

but the heater was on in the house, it was that cold this morning, i already miss the summer like weather, plus up here in NorCal, it is about 5 to 10 degrees cooler usually. :bonk: otherwise, during the day it is pleasant... :hehe:

Thank you for noticing, tabana!!
The other day someone said to me, "Oh you live on a horse farm it must be so relaxing". :lol: :lol: Wish I had thought to say, I ran the place and wasnt just a guest!! Oh well! ;)

Cool and breezy, a light rain just ended. Very nice. In the 70's. :D

brrrrr.........it cold..over here.. :shocked:

Same here, although not as bad as in Mexico, it's been stormy and raining here. I should dig out my winterclothes already :ashamed:

Right now it's in the 60's with a north windand hardly any clouds. In short, perfect. Now if only it was like this during the day. ^^

I wish it were in the 60's in Hawaii. We won't see those kind of temps until January or February.

Saw the most gorgeous sunset. :smitten:
In the low 70's. Perfect.

It's been raining all day! :metaldevil: :dancing:

And I got to see my gf today on top of all that! :woot:

Been raining all day - damn cold too only 14C that's only 57F!
