Will this wind quit blowing Already??!!!!

[Dr.Phool]

I'm on the Gulf Coast, just North of Clearwater, almost 200 miles north of where Wilma!! came ashore. It started raining about 8:30 last night, and quit about 8:30 this morning. Mostly light rain.

We had some good wind last night, but the later it got after the rain stopped, and the skies cleared, the wind kept picking up. 40+mph sustained, with gusts over 60 mph. We're still getting gusts over 40mph.

Hold on to your hats, East Coast.

1. Strange thing is

we have had heavy wind all day in Tallahasse, not related at all to Wilma. Leaves and branches everywhere.

Glad you came through ok.

4. I think this comes from the "feeder bands"

That are getting sucked into Wilma. Straight out of the North here. But nice and sunny!

6. why don't you throw up some turbines

& turn those wilma lemons into lemonade?

[rzemanfl]

11. It's easier to make lemonade from lemons than it is to make

turbines from stuff around the house.

9. Gainesville is very windy

at least it's sunny, but my yard is full of Spanish moss. I hate Spanish moss. I used to think it was so lovely, until I owned two acres of it. Oh well, I could use the exercise.

Weather is mean . I wish weather was nice. Then I would like it.

I'm in Ft. Drum (aka BFE!) and at approx. 10 this morning, I got wook up by that damn wind coming out of the north and it was SHAKING MY HOUSE! I was like WTF?!?!?! I thought sure it was a tornado! And those gusts, holy shit dude, talk about FREAKY. I've NEVER seen anything like this.
