If it ends up hitting South of here, anyone who wants can come hang out with us.
Colin, Glore's got some pigs available, and I just found out I don't have to go in until immediately after the storm. BBQ time!

It looks like our friends and favorite places in Cozumel will start taking it hard tonight, and on thru the day tomorrow, with Cancun getting it tomorrow... http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml?
Florida's experience looks like it's gonna be later, maybe Monday, giving more time there to prepare. Friend of mine who lives east of the big lake O said she went for supplies last night and saw many shortages.
Slow moving, regaining strength, rough news. Wishing the best for all affected there.

OP
Friday morning...
Cozumel and the northern Yucatan are already with hurricane force winds... and if the forecast is right they will not be out before Sunday morning!
This is terrible, terrible...
Prayers aloft for all our friends in QR.

UGH! Don!!! We can't have more time to prepare. Folks are already spending money like fiends to get anything possible to be 'prepared'. Lowes and Home Depot and many of the mom-n-pop stores are out of plywood, gas cans, generators, etc... chainsaws are gone... blah blah.. folks just buying to buy.
I've seen more people with super loaded shopping carts full of 'stuff'..... its sad. Either your ready for the game or your not. Either your ready to evacuate or your not.
I've got friends who are leaving tonight to keep reservations in Gainesville.. why? cause the storm was supposed to hit Saturday.. now Monday.. $ wise, thats bad. All this media hype of this monster storm that was moving at NASCAR speed is really screwing things up!
I can't wait till gas stations aren't mugged everytime a new shipment of gas comes in, its quite annoying!

The boat's tied up, the van is packed, reservations have been changed.............
The news is constantly reminding us, we can't tell you what its going to do
If it loses its punch over the yucatan, we'll be lucky. If not, it should be interesting.
Time to kick back and relax

....or go diving!
We leave in six hours for Rainbow River. Based on the lastest estimates, Wilma won't hit the Western Florida coast until sometime Monday. We'll sneak down, get in some diving, and be outta there by Sunday afternoon.
