As most of you probably know hurricane Wilma is now a catagory 5. This is the strongest Atlantic hurricane on record. I hope you guys down in florida will stay safe. Because they predict saturday 1:00am the hurricane will hit florida. I hope you guys evacuate, because this is one nasty hurricane. Please stay safe guys.

Apparently, this one is no joke. No matter where it hits, it will do some serious damage. I saw one report that said there is a strong chance it could hit the mouth of Tampa Bay. If it does, there will be catastrophic damage.

scientist think that hurricanes come in cycles now. Ever hundred years or so there is a period of intense hurricane activity. If you look back at history it sort of prooves it....

I think katrina WAS the record. But, this one was at 175 mph not too long ago. I think its starting to weaken, but it won't weaken that much.... This year is horrible. I wonder how the famous New England winter will be like this year :wondering

I'm looking forward to the state of emergencies so I can take a nice long ride on the road. I'll be passing the snowmobiles that are usually out there. They usually only cruise around at 30 or 40 mph.

Yup...this is the biggest hurricane ever recorded. 185mph winds, and the lowest recorded barometric pressure of 882.

Awesome! Makes us humans feel so small and helpless :lol:

We survived 3 last year, but this one is definitely nothing to screw with. All I can hope for is that it will weaken (as predicted) before and while it crosses Florida.

I can tell you that in the public service profession that I am in, I have to work 16 hour days all the way through it. That's what we did last year through Charlie, Frances, and Jeanne.

Brace up, fellas. :(

I am ready for the hurricane. When it hits shore I am going to get Fred (Fred and Wilma the Flintstones) to tell her to shut up. No ready if it hits us it will shut things down until after the first of the year. Working in construction I say ChaChig!!!! If I can make it that long. As long as it down't mess up Rumble In DIXIE.

How did you fair after the storm? I just got back from my activation. I did not see a lot of damage, but I did see soem points of concern.

Here in Deland, wind damage was minimal. The water level on the St. Johns river is about 10"s from coming over my dock and into my yard. That's about 18"s lower than this time last year.

Hopefully we can catch a break from these hurricanes for the next few years.
