I hope for the best.. some friends of my parents live in Melborne

We have a place in Hollywood/Hallandale.

Yea Fly you better get the hell out. Come to Detroit. I may know of a few people that would like to meet you.

It has been an amazing season. She came on and exploded so quickly. Please take care, Fly.

What do you do in this scenerio? Do you leave or do you batten down and stay? I know what snowstorms with 170km/hr winds are like back east, I can't imagine A hurricane packing 280km/hr+ winds is like. I hope the best for you.

Take care, Fly. I'll be thinking of you.

Yes...Fly...please take care.. I'm hoping the storm will weaken a lot...I think people have suffered more than enough already...these storms are just too much... :(

Hope you are okay. Don't get yourself hurt/killed. MAybe you should move up north. It seems between the old duffers driving 20MPH under the speed limit in carrige-roofed sedans and the crazy weather Florida is not the best place to live. :P

For me, West Central Florida is the best place to live. I don't want to deal with snow, with ice, with slush. I like the social environment of the area, too, and traffic isn't too bad in the city I live. The Bay Area hasn't been hit directly with a hurricane in a long, long time and we've escaped close calls in the past, though nothing with Wilma's intensity. Thanks for the well-wishes, guys. I'm going to sick around because, well, the projections take it south of me so we'll get the weakest part. As of late, it looks like this hurricane will be taking her sweet time to get here with landfall projections now on Sunday or Monday as opposed to tomorrow or Saturday.

I hope it loses it's intensity(somehow) It must have been a nerve racking season in the south!

fly...i suggest duct tape, cheap wood boards, and plastic sheets, kinda like what they told us what would save us from a terriost attactk (idiots) anyways best of luck and remember hide in the bafroom, with a laptop with wireless internet, so you can keep us updated.... and in the worst case, put your head between you legs, and kiss....well you know the rest
