Wilma Update

All my family are still without power and may not be for another week or more. The roads are still blocked off but they, in cooperation with their neighbors, are getting by. Lots of Bar B Q's.

Up here in New York we felt the effects of Wilma, especially this morning. We got what they call a "Nor'eastern". That is (I guess) what they call a windy, rainy storm in the north east. We had winds of 50+ MPH here in the city with a cold persistent rain which continues. Fortunately, this didn't happen in the middle of winter or ('they' say) we would have has 40 - 50 inches of snow! As it is, there is snow to the SOUTH of us, but only rain here. The weather patterns sure are different here.
