It is finally hitting Flordia this morning! Just wanted to let everyone know. I didn't know until about 1/2 hr ago when I checked MSN.com.

I hope everyone is evacuated and safe!!

South Florida's getting the crap kicked out of it right now from the backside. (Wilma came through the west instead of the usual east for most hurricanes that strike South Florida.)

Reports of extensive wind damage and street flooding - and what freaked me out was when I saw people STILL on I-95 trying to get away from the storm. (Just for the record, I'm in Texas, but I grew up in the Miami area.)

Anyone check into the affect on spring break?

A bunch of guys from my chapter were all planning on going to cancun this year....but I don't know how damaged it is. I haven't found any reports on the actual resort area-just the city.

Might be another acapulco trip. (yay for trip #3)

Wow. God forbid.

Anyways check with a travel agent. They usually find out that information pretty quick.

Hi everyone.

Wilma--- not my favorite name right now.

Still have no power at home. (been 1 week now)

traffic lights are down EVERYWHERE!!! and NO ONE..and i mean NO ONE understands the concept of a 4 way STOP!!!!

still on a curfew (12am...up from 8pm)

...thank goodness i filled up on gas before, cause lines were CRAZY afterwards

roof came off apartment building into the front corridor of my apartment...i open my door to slabs of asphalt roof every day now.

COLD SHOWERS ARE NOT FUN!!! I get frost bite every time

getting tired of living out a cooler.. whatever fits in it is what we get.

was out of work for a week so i know my upcoming paycheck is going to be BAD

thats the update from my end of the miami area...my parents are in broward and are still without power, they are estimating 11/22 as the restoration date. they estimate 11/12 for my area.

trees are EVERYWHERE and no one is very nice right now... thank goodness its been cooler cause when its humid and hot in miami... everyone is even meaner.

hope everyone else in florida that was affected is doing OK.

gotta leave work and the nice power for today... back to darkness.... BLAH!
