Wilma

Well I lived through my fourth Hurricane yesterday. Wilma went through southern Florida but we still got pounded with Tropical Storm winds. That means we had sustained tropical storm winds with gusts up to hurricane strength (74+ mph).

By the time I got up (work was closed so i slept in til 9) the storm was most of the way gone. It was still windy and rainy til around noonish. But then the strangest thing Ive ever seen from a hurricane happened. The storm ended abruptly.

There was a cold front following the storm. So the air got really dry, the sky was a beautiful blue with no clouds in sight, and the temperature dropped to about 65-70.

as my coworker Nathan said today "It was the most beautiful day to have off from work due to bad weather."
