Re: hurricane season 05

*Sounding like a news reporter:*
The wind outside is really strong. The shutters are raddling and were raddling all through the night from about 3:00 AM on. it is still really bad at about 10:30 and the power here went out for awhile. Power is still out all over the area except right where I am because I am right next to the hospital and since the winds just died down below 60 miles per hour, FP&L crews were out here trying to restore power to the hospital.

The eye of the storm is currently passing just south of us. The wind is ocming from the east. We tried opening the side door and couldn't because of the pressure of the air outside and wind, two of us couldn't push it open.

We could see through a very small crack in our shutters and a car went driving by and blew sideways off the road. The guy kept going. Another guy was just killed because he went outside during the storm to check damage to his house. He was hit by flying debris.

I guess that's all for now. I can't imagine what it is like further south near West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami.
