Wilmaaaa!
Okay, I know everybody has made that joke by now...so sue me. For now, I'm not worried about Hurricane Wilma because, according to the computer models, a front is supposed to cause her to turn eastward after she crawls over the Yucatan Peninsula. While this is a good thing for my area, it's a bad thing for South Florida. Hopefully, she will weaken considerably before she hits Florida.
Now that the hurricane names have all been used up, any other storms this season are going be assigned Greek alphabet names: Alpha, Beta, etc. Considering how early the season got started and how active it's been, I wouldn't be surprised to see a few Greek names used before November 30, which is when hurricane season ends.
I'll be getting my storm shutters installed early next year (yes, there is a waiting list), so I just hope we don't get anything major in this area before the season ends.
The next one's a Bam Bam, fer sher.
Seriously, (tho the Bam Bam prediction is serious, too,...well), got a property in West Palm Beach and I'm tellin folks there to batten down the hatches.
And, by the way, here's to Lord Nelson. ((Raises glass to Susan.))
