Just when I was admiring the "cool" weather and the opportunity to turn the A/C off, Mother Nature reared her ugly head with Tropical Migraine Number 24 [now known as Hurricane Wilma]. Check this link for current information:

On Sunday, I said that this beast appeared to have two probabilities: One was to throw an uppercut into the Tampa Bay area, and the other was to give the New Orleans area the third-strike-and-yer-out treatment. On Sunday, our weather guy on TV showed us one of those spaghetti maps this afternoon and most of the computer models were running right over Tampa Bay. This is not good.
Update: This is suddenly a Category Five, yes Five, hurricane. They are now showing a projected path running right across Naples and over to West Palm Beach, but note that the "Cone of Uncertainty" is wide enough to reach Tallahassee. They do not really know where this thing is going, but the odds are that Saturday is going to be a disastrous day for a lot of people. The only good news is that the New Orleans area should get a break from this one.
Never mind the wool socks; where are my waterproof boots? It's time to check out our hurricane supplies.
