"Hurricane Wilma flew into South Florida as a Category 3 hurricane, taking down power lines, trees, roof tiles, roofs and even mobile homes with it. It let over 2.5 million FPL subscribers without electricity and it will take until November 22nd to restore power to all of those households and business. It was truly a big storm.Thanks to god nothing happened to my or my family, as our little apartment withstood the strong winds and all the rubbish that hit the windows while we sheltered in the kitchen reading and playing with our little 6 months old, so that she wouldn't feel the fear and uneasiness that was all over us."

"Wilma the tropical storm that hit south Florida on Monday was a category 3 hurricane, which passed from Borward county, Ft Lauderdale where I live.I was a very cool experience combining fear, challenge, tactikes and friendship feelings.People had ample time to prepare and it isn't that hard to get 72 hours' worth of food and water ... Just to do the simple things that the US government asked us to do, and I did it really well, went to target and got so many stuff, cane food, water, candles, flash lights...As well as Jo my American/Egyptian friend who works with me cuz he and his girlfriend decided to spend the hurricane eve with holly and me (as well as Tiba my puppy) at home."
