Great site and info, guys.

Just SW of Lauderdale and it is getting nasty. Transformers were popping at about 5 in 15 sec as I went out to secure my dish. We had 1/3 of our trees down with Katrina but the dish held strong. It was already down at 6am with Wilma.

I am afraid much of SE Florida hasn't taken this seriously and will have a rude awakening, figurative and literal. About 50% of businesses had shutters up, but only 15-20% of homes from what I can tell. Everyones' excuse was "It's coming from the west, it's going north, cat.1, etc."

My boss even said "maybe I'll see you tomorrow."

Hope everyone else is safe. Thanks again for such an informative discussion.
