Re: Wilma Nearing Landfall

Here in New Port Richey, some of my neighbors actually took out the trash last night, even though the county is pretty much shut-down for today. The cans are rolling up and down the street, and there's trash everywhere. Not too bad here, thankfully- just some rain and occasional wind gusts <25 mph I would guess, and I'm assuming this is the worst it will get.

On a side note, I'm watching CNN and wondering why on earth these reporters are risking their lives, and the lives of their camera crews, standing outside in the worst of the storm, struggling against the wind and rain. We know it's bad, and our thoughts are with the people in the affected areas. They don't need to prove how unsafe it is, do they?
