the sick feeling of fear creeps in again


aside from being worried about my friends Michelle (where Wilma is slated to come into FL) and Andie (where she is supposed to come out again) --can we all say Katrina in reverse?? and yes folks as of last night when i was watching the news, Wilma officially scares the bejesus out of me--this is what the National Hurricane Center has to say about this: THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON CATASTROPHICHURRICANE WILMA...LOCATED ABOUT 170 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF GRANDCAYMAN AND ABOUT 365 MILES SOUTHEAST OF COZUMEL MEXICO. so on a purely superficial level, know that cruise i'm supposed to take next month? well i wonder if there will be anywhere left to go because our 2 ports of call are...you guessed it...Cozumel & the Cayman Islands. truthfully though, i'm far more worried about what Wilma will decide to do to FL. where the eye passes through the Yucatan Channel will deteremine where Wilma makes her turn to the east: in the center as she is now will follow the track you see above. the more she moves to the left of the channel, the further north she will come ashore. all the way to the right would miss FL entirely & her worst anger will stay out to sea between the tip of FL & Cuba. all togethr now: EVERYONE PULL TO THE RIGHT!!! and can i point out to you that she is already showing sustained winds of 175mph?! with 4 days left for her to trvael over 90* waters before she picks her target! i'm watching...watching & waiting & worrying (there's the addendum to your W List ladies & gentlemen!)...and i don't care who tells me i'm borrowing trouble. Wilma is NOT a happy camper & i'm not really wanting to make her acquaintance.

This is CRAZINESS! It is going to get pretty freaky around here! I hope everyone stays safe, and if anyone from any power crew anywhere is reading this -- Please get your rest and don't be tired because I do not sleep well with the gentle hum of generators at night!

Oh no Dawn! I've been so wrapped up in baby stuff that I haven't been watching the news! I had no idea about Wilma! I'm SO freaked out for you right now! I will be checking back with your blog for updates on her. :(
