Wilma Arrives in Florida

Statewide DopplerIt's windy. Wilma came ashore as a category three hurricane about an hour ago at Marco Island, just south of Naples. (Wendy: I'm glad you evacuated!)

We're seeing tropical storm force winds with gusts brushing hurricane force in certain areas. We've been under tornado watch since last night. It's blowing pretty good out there, but we're spared the worst of it. Of course, schools are closed and no one is going to work today. We're supposed to get a cold front right after the storm, so the weather will go from tropical to winter in the space of a few hours. Right now it's humid and I can smell the warm rain through walls.

It's 7am and we're safe and dry. More later.
