Well here I sit getting buffeted by the north east side of wilma, Winds steady @ 35 and gusting higher. At least the girl is moving along at 23mph, should blow out of here by early afternoon. The worst is about an hour away, but good so far. Looks like there is more danger from tornados than this hurricane. Been several alerst about that.
 
Here on the cape they say we going to get:

Today: Windy with rain, heavy at times. High 58F. Winds NE at 25 to 40 mph. Rainfall may reach two inches. Winds could occasionally gust over 60 mph.
