Well hurricane Wilma sure sucked! The centerline of the hurricane path, that you saw depicted on TV, passed right over my house. Fortunately . . . . this year the new roof held, and the house itself didn't sustain any damage. I lost several sections of fence, and the seven new trees I had installed two weeks ago got blown over . . but all in, I feel quite lucky. My neighbor's 35' orange tree, uprooted, and fell into my yard, smashing one section of fence. We were all out looking at it during the "eye". About half way through the "second half", I peeked out, only to find the tree missing. The second half winds had picked it back up, and sent it back over into my neighbor's yard, where it had come from! Cool! I got to clean up about 300 oranges, but no tree! About 90% of my town is still without power. I am fortunate to be among the 10% who do! There is sooo much damage again . . so many power poles down . . so many businesses closed . . and so many people without gas to go anywhere. Fucking Hurricanes!

I understand there are lots of hurricane photos at www.palmbeachpost.com
