Hurricane Wilma Discussion

**Spadz**

Oh joy another rainy day in Florida. *yawn*

I live in central Florida. I'm not leaving and I'm not impressed.

To quote REO Speedwagon, I'll be... "Riding the storm out."

That is all.

I hope that everyone can survive, I had heared that the hurricane is greater then germany :smileysurprised:

Im from germany, so I had heared this in the news.

Also I had heared that the hurricane is above the hurricane scala,
there are parameters inside the hurricane that cant be detect on normal
measuring devices :smileysurprised:

This is realy mad, but what will we see in the next year? Or in 10 years? :smileysad:

**Zurish**

Well the hurricane came and went...very freakin' quickly I might add. Now its just very cold and windy.

A tree fell down, thats about it. But Im okay. Im sure that all of you were praying for my safety...

Yeah, blew through southern Florida, messed up stuff for alot of people. I'm in central florida, not really any damage. I think the palmetto bush out front got jacked pretty bad. was interesting driving to work today through 60mph gusts tho. the wind was making lane changes for me. Anyway, I hope everyone else is alright... and after reading all of these posts, i think there needs to be a FL MxO gathering, eh EH?

Calliente

I'm a Central Florida resident myself, and all was well here. We got a lot of wind and rain, and that's about it.

I'm from West Palm Beach however, where my family still is, and they
got hit pretty bad. Thankfully all of them are alright... but the
city itself has a lot of damage. Surprisingly, it was a lot more
than anyone thought. Hopefully things will return to a state of
normalcy down there soon :-/

Hopefully everyone else made it through that ride alright.

Im in the exact same situation as Calliente..wierd. Im from the
WPB and my parents house was hit pretty hard, we didnt get major
damage, but we have a lot of cosmetic damages. I live in Orlando
at UCF and we really didnt get much here. I was asleep the whole
day as classes were canceled, but i heard the wind and rain was really
bad, and that was like it. So yea, I am very very grateful
it wasnt anything like last year with all 4 hitting, or anything like
New Orleans.

I live in Boca Raton myself and just hooked up my remaining laptop battery to the only remaining phone line i know of in a 10 mile radius (My house woot) We don't have power or clean water and i've spent the last two days moving a few thousand pounds of trees out of my front yard so we can get out of the house but we can't go anywhere since there's no gas. It's pretty messed up down here. See you guys later I'm not supposed to have power for a month.

Not bad FPL - not bad.

Florida Power and light turned on my power last night, and the totals of those who still dont have power are diminishing very quickly. These guys are working 16 hour days... gotta hand it to em, they rock.

On the flip side here in my area of Good ol' southwest Florida, all is well some tipped trees, some screen enclosure damage, and alot of debris clean up. Although Naples unfortunatly didnt fare as well as we did here in Ft. Myers.

Once again the Red Cross is going to need your help, plently of people in Naples, Golden Gate, Hollywood, West Palm definatly need it. From what I'm told they love the money donations, but they could also use physical help. Theres alot that you can do with Red Cross - some without even leaving the house, like data entry for a couple of hours a day.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw that by.

Florida sounds like a mess but good to see that they are making progress with things. I was just talking with a person that I know over in Cozumel Mexico. Storm sat over the top of them for almost 60 hours at Cat 4/5 strength with only a 1/2 hr break due to the eye. Massive devistation all over the place there. Most of the hotels there are pretty thrashed, one of the cruise ship docks is completely destroyed with the other missing a big chunk out of it and of course majority of the power lines are completely out. It's scary when you link about it actually, from texas to the tip of florida is basically one big storm trashed area from the last 2 years. Having been through almost 14 hurricanes myself I keep my fingers crossed for all of you that were effected by the storms this year and hope that your recovery is swift. The aftermath of a major storm sucks but it really makes you appreciate the little things in life. Best of luck !

In Florida myself, Port St. Lucie on the east coast, and the east coast
got hit hard, we had 3 tornados in our backyard, one tore our sheds
apart, another ripped apart our neighbor's screen enclosure around his
pool apart and flung pieces onto his roof, across the street, and into
some neighboring yards, the third tore down trees and tore up a fence 3
houses away (we have those clear shutters so we watched the whole
thing) we still don't have power and i'm online of a generator right
now on a laptop, i won't be able to make the halloween thing on MxO and
i'm sure alot of other ppl won't be able to either... PLEASE devs give
us a chance to get those awesome masks! please leave
the jack-o-laterns there for a few extra weeks!!!

i also want to add that i know we don't have nearly as much devestation
as those who were hit when it was a cat.4-cat.5 they'll
need an extra month to get their masks!!!

Im in Jupiter, just north of West Palm, FL and I luckily had power back on Monday night, but no Internet :smileysad:

And my job just got power back today, friday, so Ive been home all week but at least I power..now hopefully I can get power back at the house so I can enjoy this haloween masquerade :robottongue:

Sykin

I'm staying at a friend's who lives in an area with power. I live in
the Broward area and they are still pondering on when the power will be
back on... The latest they said was November 22nd.

Brought my own computer to this house so I can work and have some fun on the Matrix... Good luck to everyone out of power.

Mr.%2BFunktastic

I just got power back :smileyvery-happy: but I won't have anything besides this dialup connection that keeps cutting out because the phone lines are bad for another couple of weeks :smileysad: So I'll have been jacked out for over a month by the time i get back.

corristo
