Well all, I am writing a mass email to let you all know about Ms. Wilma. Joan, Josh and I were scheduled to leave tomorrow for a big driving clinic and we were going to take two horses and come back on Sunday. Well know its looking like that wont happen. We are not 100% sure of what we are doing, but we are staying here. Not leaving at the moment. Wilma, depending on the course she takes in the next day hopefully will drop to a cat 2 or 3 by the time she makes land on the west coast of Florida. She is a tight storm with a small eye, so by the time she reaches the other side of Florida, we are hoping she will be a cat 1 or lower. We have already started stocking up on water. Some windows are going to be boarded up tomorrow. I have to id the horses halters tomorrow with zip lock bags, because when the storm hits I have to turn them out. It is saver for them outside where they are not trapped. The course now has the storm coming right over the top of us, this will change probably before this weekend. Wilma is suppose to make landfall late Saturday night. I am sure we will lose power. With luck we won't have much structural damage.
Anyway I wanted to give you all a shout to let you know. Josh and I just came back on Monday from taking the big truck to PA with some carriages to an Auction and know we are dealing with this. On a slightly humorous note, Josh got the truck stuck turning it around because the ground was too soft. We managed to get it unstuck and then today he backed it all the way out our driveway, turned it around and backed it all the way back in, so it was pointed out, if we need to leave. Mind you our driveway is not straight and has several small bends and too large curves and is close to 1000 feet long.

All I have to say is YIKES!
