As someone who lives in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area, I wish the lady would make up her mind. When is she getting here? How close will she pass? Strong, weak, slow moving, speeding by? So many questions, so few clues. Everyones life is on hold.

My cousin lives right near Cozumel and just south of Cancun in Mexico.
They have a huge, beautiful house right on the beach and they own a resort on a beautiful beach and they think it will all be wiped out by Wilma. They went to the airport in Cancun to get out of there, but flights had been shut down.
They are now trying to drive as far away as possible.
It is very sad for them, but also for all of the millions of super poor people in the area.
Who pissed off Mother Nature this year?  '>

Here is a photo I took from the roof of their house when I was there this spring.

Sounds and looks like a very nice setup. Yes, they are getting hammered right now. This fickle femme fatale is not giving anyone a break.

Already have a telephone problem and the hurricane is not here yet. What a bummer this all is.

Hello All, Sleep well tonight your Customs and Border Protection is on duty. Using a computer at work. May well be up to a month before they replace the down lines behind the house.
As badly as Miami was tore up, it must have been #### in Mexico being under the storm for for so many hours. One of our stations has been condemned, another station is now working off a cardboard box in the middle of a hanger.
No telephones, no electricity, hate taking cold showers getting ready for work. Plenty of gas, very few working gas stations. My place came through with flying colors. Neighbors took a beating. One day a hurricane, next day beautiful. Sunny clear, and about 70 degrees. Got one heck of a sunburn, spent the day oudoors cutting through the downed trees.
Vegetation got shredded if not outright pulled up by the roots. Many of the trees will not be back within my lifetime. Was surprised to see cyclone fencing blown over. One would think the open weave would let the wind pass through. Not only blew the neighbors fence down, actually snapped the fence posts.
Family okay, house okay, the rest is just a nuisance. Got to get that garage added on to the house. This will set it back and raise the price considerably.
