Good Morning all...live here from Deerfield Beach. Was woken up by (i) some drunk calling my cell looking for "Johnny Mellonhead" and (ii) the howling wind and rain. I have a 40-50 foot Oak Tree about 6 feet from my back patio and the acorns are pelting the metal pan roof and making an awful racket. Reports from here that wind is gusting upward of 47 mph...

I cannot imaging how bad things are going to get here shortly. Gotta say, it's rather weird watching it on TV in my kitchen here and knowing/seeing this monster's arrival is just a matter of time. 70nm eye! Good God. Like watching a train wreck...it's awful and you want to look away but you're glued. I will report conditions here for as long as I have power. The only upshot of Wilma is she's moving fast and ushering in some much welcomed cooler weather.

Stay Safe ALL!
