Well, i don't know about anyone else, but I must say that I have one crazy family. So, me and my dad boarded up the front of the house, took in the plants from the backyard, took in the furniture from the back yard, and he parked his truck in front of the house. The next day we waited for Wilma, i was so excited about it i set my alarm to wake me up at 7 so i could see it. So the hurricane starts to come and what do my parents do?? They grab a couple of chairs and decide to sit on our back porch!!! Now, my back porch was built hurricane proof (up to 150 mph.) but still, it seemed crazy! So, I grabbed the radio and sat with my parents, we sat through the first half of the hurricane on our back porch! We lost power at about 10:00 which really sucked. After the eye was gone the second half came which was worse than the first half. My parents decided to stay inside, but being the crazy person that i am, i grabbed a towel wrapped my feet cuz i was cold, and i sat through the second half. It was soooo amazing, it was like being on one of those rides at disney. This big gust of wind came and then there was this big white sheet of rain like a tidal wave that came over the back wall in our back yard and came right at me, it was the expirience of a life time. We got power back at 1:00 that day and we just got our internet back today. I hope everyone is ok and that you didn't get much damage. In case some of you don't know, school starts again on monday. See you then!
School MIGHT be on monday. The day after the hurricane they said it would start monday but for some reason im now hearing that they will make a decision about it. So for those of you who have cable watch for it!
