87. Almost time to say goodbye to Wilma!
The second half has been exciting, to say the least. Something hit one of the hurricane panels -- from what we can see from looking straight down through the bottom of the panels, it's someone's solar panel. We have no idea if our solar panels survived. Haven't really heard anything rolling around on the roof.

My laptop battery is a piece of shit. Tells me it has 2.5 hours and lasts more like 20 minutes. I'm hooked up to the car right now, just to charge the battery. I'll have to conserve the power a little better.

I think we have seen the worst of it, according to the map they're showing on TV. We've caught the edges of hurricanes before, but never had one go right over the house until today.

I'll keep you updated ... and I'm anxious to read how others are doing. I hope everyone is safe. Prayers and warm thoughts coming your way.
