Hurricane, Hurricane. What's My Name? Hurricane!
So we get yet another bout of sustained winds at 50+ miles an hour with "stinging rain" and "unbelievable power." We're about to get hit again by Wilma. Fun. Luckily the storm is expected to drop to a Category 1 hurricane by then. Uh, fun.I was preparing to send my family either up north with my cousin, or out west with my sister, but it doesn't look like we'll get the brunt this time. Probably just some very high winds and a whole lot of wet. Ah, the Sunshine State! But in Mexico there is a different story.
It looks like the eye of Wilma passed right over Cozumel with 140+ mph winds. A whole lot of vacationers decided to stay in Cancun and wait out the storm. Should make for some interesting diving. Was there a run on the hotel gift store to stock up on supplies? Really! What do you do to prepare if you are on vacation? That got me thinking about an idea for a TV series. Imagine this:
An entire plain full of passengers crashes on an uncharted tropical island forcing a bunch of people from different walks of life to learn how to live with each other to survive...
Oh wait, I think that's been done already. How 'bout this:
An entire boat full of passengers crashes on an uncharted tropical island forcing a bunch of people from different walks of life to learn how to live with each other to survive...
Oh wait, that sounds like...OK how about this:
A group of people find themselves on an island - no wait - another island - wait - the Serengeti - DOH! - a jungle - oh somewhere completely foreign to them, and they have to be the supreme victor! DOH! Smallville!
In all seriousness, my heart goes out to all those who will have to deal with the aftermath of Wilma. I pray that casualties are minimal. It has been a tough year for storms.
