8:15 PM We've had some hard rain between 5 and 6 PM but it is not raining now. We are expecting that Monday morning, that is 12PM and before 9PM, we will receive 3 to 7 inches of rain and winds up to 65 miles per hour. The eye of the storm will be south of us, probably centered on Marco Island, in Collier County.
We have completed our preparations and are buttoned up and are hunkering down.
Here is what we looked like this morning just after sunrise.
Technical difficulties. New computer, new program. Pictures are not showing.
Anyway, right now we are just waiting for Wilma to make landfall. We'll have some excitment between now and daylight tomorrow, no doubt. I hope to have pictures for you then.
Eleanor, our next door neighbor, is staying over in her home. I showed her how to use her car clicker to flash the car lights and honk the horn if she needs assistance. She is not alone.
Janet Walker is staying in her home. There are about a dozen mobile homes in the park that are occupied tonight. Some of the residents have gone to a motel for overnight.
Good night, henry and pat
