FIRE DRILL! remember those when you were a kid in school? That's what this feels like. Three days of preparing for the worst, and now...nada. That satellite is misleading.
10:15pm here in Cozumel and still nothing to write about. All we’ve had so far is an impressive lightning storm (still transerring/downloading the video), a few gust of about 40mph, and some random heavy showers. The wind right now is like a “norte.”
I am happy that we were prepared for the worst and there really wasn’t any reason until late yesterday afternoon for us to think otherwise, but this is like kindergarten compared to Wilma, or even Emily. I think anything less than a Cat 4 will be "easy" for us after Wilma. At this rate, we may have the boats back in the water by tomorrow afternoon, and definitely by Wednesday!
All the prayers and thoughts you all sent our way, please focus them on Chetumal and the others south of us that will take the hard hit from this Cat 5 storm. They are going to need it...the aftermath is going to be horrible for them!
I’m REALLY exhausted, so I’m going to try to sleep while I can just in case it gets nasty later.
