Hurricane Wilma


Just a year ago central Florida was hit time after time with Hurricanes. Just our area alone was hit four times. Today we prepared for yet another storm. Hurricane Wilma is heading to Florida. So we were out today stocking up on batteries, water, and propane for our outdoor grill. Last year we spent a full week without power. Therefore, we were in the heat of Florida without air, hot water to shower, and not a grocery store for days. When they did open there was little to buy because most of their food had spoiled. At this time it looks as if Wilma will stay somewhat south of our home. However, we have seen many storms turn just enough to do some damage. Please think of us as we possibly go through yet another storm. We have been lucky this year. We have seen and heard many sad stories of hurricanes. This storm fortunately is the first we needed to prepare for. School is closed this Monday due to the possibilities of this storm.
I can not forget what we lived through last year. The picture above was from a storm last year. I had never in my life seen a tree pushed over like nothing. The roots were actually sticking out of the ground. Trees were laying on homes and cars.
I can only hope and pray that this storm will turn away.
