Please send a new roof and electricity...
Well, my family is safe. We weathered the storm as best we could, very stressed from the amazing winds that battered my house, but fine.
Wilma made mincemeat of two slopes of my roof: the south and west faces which, amazingly enough, is where the incredible winds were blowing in from. This storm was worse than Andrew in my opinion. More damage, more widespread. We have no power and FP&L estimates it could be weeks -- yes, weeks -- before power is restored.
I'm glad everyone is OK. I'll try to write more later this week.

p.s. Yes, it can take a long time for power to be restored. Depends on which lines they can reach first because of debris, fallen trees, etc. that has to be cleared before utility trucks can get in. In our town last year, Charley destroyed 100% of the power grid which then had to be rebuilt bit by bit over the course of 2-3 weeks. Even in -- especially in times of adversity, praise be to God.

George, brain riddle:
If you need roof and electricity, how did you post your blog?
