Wilma sent us to the Stone Age

Well we made it through Hurricane Wilma.. We had a little damage to our carport and had to live without power for 5 days. Thankfully though all of us were safe after the storm, we were not hurt in any way, But I do have to say it was rough not having power for so long. No hot water, not being able to cook, NO COMPUTER (I think that was the worst for me.), and the gas situation was not that easy to deal with, lines that were at least a mile long, many hours of waiting for gas and then not getting any when you finally got close enough to the station, now that was hard for those of us who were fortunate enough to have a generator. Well we decided to start siphoning the gas out of our cars, and sharing the generator with neighbors to share the cost and headache of the gas situation. Now we are in still dealing with the gas problem and we are going into day 6 after Wilma. All you hear on the news is that the power company is trying to get power back to everyone before Thanksgiving, which will really hurt us for the Holiday season. So much that was not expected for Wilma, so many thought is was going to be the same as Katrina for us and did not prepare. So many people that don't have all the essentials that are needed during hurricane season. Now all we can hope this that the tropics just quite down for the rest of the season and that next year more people listen to the reports and prepare better. Well I guess this is it for now and Gladly I can bring you all more information tomorrow.
