Wilma took a toll on my city most places didn't have electricty for 2-3 weeks, my friend was on a hospital grid so I stayed at his house, he got electricty 3 days later. All in all, the aftermath sucks but I find hurricanes very interesting phenomenons, and if one comes by that isn't to strong I like to stick em out, if its a 4 or a 5 I'm gone, but a 1, 2 I'll stick home, and a 3 it depends on how strong of a 3 it is, and where exactly its coming from. But anyway time will tell.

We were without power for 17 days after Wilma came through Fort Lauderdale - that got tiring after about a week. Wilma is the only hurricane that managed to hit me twice - I have a house in Playa Del Carmen in the Yucatan - Wilma sat directly over Playa for 36 hours as a cat 5 storm - they had the power back up in the whole town after THREE days - in hindsight we should have jumped on a flight from Fort Lauderdale and headed down there - we would have had a much better time of it.
