How's The Weather Down There?

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 10.24.05 // 10:15 AM

So far in Winter Haven, FL we've just had heavy rains and moderate winds. There is the occasional gust, but nothing major. The weather service says winds will most likely be 30-40 mph in our region. No power outages yet (knock-on-wood-desk).

When a heavy gust comes through I am waiting to hear shingles rolling along the roof. A sound we grew accustomed to during Charlie and Frances last year. Looking out the windows there are small branches down around the neighborhood and quite a few leaves in the driveway/yard.

The storm has moved quickly across the state and things should be back to normal by late evening (we hope).

I continue to update my list of Hurricane Wilma Blogs.

The weather is fine next to Disney. It's been raining steadily with slight winds all night/morning, but nothing else. During last year's storms, I didn't receive much damage and we never lost power. I'm convinced Disney has found a way to control the weather. This works out well for me.

Lots of rain and wind in downtown Orlando up 'til about 2 p.m. Branches in the yard, but nowhere near Charley's wrath. Not too bad at all. Thrilled I didn't lose electricity or cable/Internet. Now I'm freezing!
