Hello everyone! As you know both Kort and I live in the "hurricane zone" called Florida, and south Florida got smacked hard this time, Kort lives in south Florida, and this morning on the news they said that everyone will be back up and running (meaning they will get power) within the next four weeks, there are massive outages down south. Hurricane Wilma hit as a category three storm one of the most heavily populated sections of Florida on Monday October 24th. So there are litterally hundreds of thousands of people that this storm affected, we had 75 mph gusts here with sustained winds of about 50mph, and I am about an hour and a half north of Kort. We have people here that have no power, lots of generators and shortages of gas, the lines are outrageous when there is gas. Last year in 2004 we were hit by Hurricane Frances (category 2) and Hurricane Jeanne (category 3) we lost power with both storms for 9 days with each one. So I am sure Kort will be checking in when his power is restored. Hopefully he hasn't suffered any damages. I personally had a branch come through my roof from this storm. All have a great evening, and know that my heart goes out to Kort and his family, because I have a real good idea what they are going through right about now, and it sucks. Brenda
