Prayers sent your way, Laz.
My friend is still in Miami, the one who works on the Hawaiian cruise ship. His employer says he doesn't have to report back to Honolulu until next weekend, so he won't be traveling during Wilma. However, that means he's going to be in Miami during the storm. He still refuses to take this seriously, though.
Don't people like this drive you absolutely nuts, the laid-back "manana" types who say "Let's see what happens..."?
It's one thing not to panic, but having a lackadaisical attitude is something I can't stand. People like this don't seem to take it seriously at all, as if nothing were happening. A hurricane is coming and they shrug their shoulders. There's a big difference between not panicking and just shrugging your shoulders.
