Computer Models for Hurricane Wilma
As we all know, mother nature is tricky. There is so much that can happen and changes that take place in storms, so predicting them isn't an exact science. Most websites show a cone (a.k.a. "cone of concern") and a few map out a predicted path. One of my friends, informed me of a site that illustrates several computer model tracks. It is www.weatherunderground.com. I am posting the interesting map above because - see where the yellow & orange lines intersect on the map? That is very close to our house. Perhaps, I should panic, but I don't feel like it.
Long ago, I decided when it comes to hurricanes Steve should be in charge of safety decisions and the house and I'll handle hurricane supplies. We have plenty of water, gas, batteries, and food - so I am doing pretty good. Poor Steve is worried about the fact that we don't have shutters or plywood. He also is thinking we might go to his parents' house, but do you see the green line on the map? That is just south of where they live. I would rather stay put or at least somewhere in Miami. That way, we can get back quickly and assess the damages - maybe we'll drop in on our boss. He has shutters and a generator.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
