Wilma heads for the gulf coast
My parents are based on the gulf coast and are fleeing in-land. I asked my mom, "OK, now which do you prefer, earthquakes or hurricanes?" She replied: "At least there is plenty of warning for hurricanes!".I still wish there was better hurricane prediction software, stuff that was so good as to be able to predict the exact location of the hit more than a few hours in advance.
Some friends of mine are going to the keys for a big festival. Hope they don't get rained out. They are going prepared however - see pic (left)!
I wish I had time to take off for a big festival, but after spending a week in conferences I have a lot of work to do at work, and my tree-laden property has dumped an entire truck's worth of leaves on the driveway in the last month, so I have to spend today digging out from Fall's fall.
Far better to dig out from fall than a hurricane, though, I believe. Here's hoping the damage is minimal! ¶ 10:54 AM
