Wilma has not yet made landfall on the SW coast but we are already experiencing winds of around 25 to 30 mph. We have also had several small power outages. This is going to be quite a ride I fear. The storm is still holding winds of around 120 mph. The shearing that was forecast to weaken her somewhat has not begun. The power went off and on a couple of times while I was typing this post.

The house is like a fortress with the shutters in place. We can see outside only through small holes in the shutters or out of the view lens in our garage door. It is 4:30 AM and dark outside anyway.
