The first of the big storms from the outer bands of Hurricane Wilma are rolling through my neighborhood at the moment, and we've got lightning and rain, but not much wind (yet.) We've been on tornado watch most of the day, but it looks like Tampa and regions to the south are seeing the twisters. Schools are closed tomorrow and we're prepped for losing power, water, and access to town.
You'd know something was coming by how the animals are behaving. My mom reports that her dogs having been throwing up, and my three cats are following me around from room to room like they think I'm going to run out on them.
The thunder is promising to knock out the power soon, so I'm going to post tomorrow's ten list a little early, then shut down until the storm passes. To all the clan, friends, and neighbors here and in South Florida: Be smart, stay safe, and let us know you're okay when you can.

ReplyDeleteIt was absolutely silent here this morning. Not a rustle of leaf or chirp of bird to be heard. Wilma, or what's left of her, is to pass directly over Nova Scotia today, so we're prepared for a stormy day. Nothing like you Floridians sustained yesterday, but a dirty day, just the same. Power outages will likely be the worst we see here. I'm glad you're safe!
