Hurricane Wilma
Well hope all of you in Fl make it thru wilma ok. Keep us posted. That is the one thing I did not like living in Tampa for 21 years of my life (yes I am a tn transplant).
Hope all you and your families are ok. I am about to call mine again to check on them.

Hope you the family and that freaking monster you call your gsl-se made it thru ok.
I am sure they will be asking for volunteers from the local fire departments to come down and I just might if I can get the go ahead from school.

This was what was left of my alumnium roof in the back, it survived Katrina, and we expected it to survive this one, I guess not.
A light on my property with some palms, the winds were still pretty strong at this point.
A piece of my roof on a power line 20 feet up in the air.
Next 3 pics are the cars that were under the roof that didnt fair the storm to well.
An 18 wheeler trailer on its side.
Light post down.
I have some other really good movie footage too if someone knows where I can host it.

I am glad that you guys are ok... I faired off pretty well.. only one tree down .. all the cars including mine were in my shop and shutters put on so no scraches... I got power back on Tuesday morning about 4:00 AM and the phone came one shortly after. No cell phones.. I ran into some guys from Trinidad yesterday who asked me if there was a meet @ Fuddruckers tomorrow.. I suppose that there is.. I will go and see if anyone shows up.. but we also have a curfew dont we ? talk to you soon... Be well and be blessed, V

If those FD were mine I would cry. One day i will find another stock fd with a blown motor for 6k and keep it after the crate motor goes in.
Hope everyone made it ok. I am going back home to tampa on the 16th.

A big tree hit the car next to me and totaled it really bad. No lights & no phones/ cooking on the grill everyday! they said we wont get power till next week! But broward wont get power till late november. Everytime i think about how bad i got i think about oklahoma katrina victims!
traffic is crazy. a guy ran a red light and T-boned a police car. heard there taking 4 points off your license if you run a traffic light!
Spoke to almost everyone and it seemes most has there power (including phil/alex) so nice to hear from everyone
