Several LARGE Explosions in Baghdad

We fared pretty well - TONS of rain, though. It must've rained for 6, 7 hours straight. The winds picked up as the day went on; gusts were near hurricane-strength. It's now down to 35 mph. I sent the wife and kids up to the in-laws in St. Pete: I worked at the paper last night, got home around 9:30 and rode it out with the four cats. We all slept through the worst of it. :-)
The oddest thing about Wilma was that it was the "coolest" hurricane I've ever been through. It got into the 60s; now it's 72. Usually, hurricanes are muggy beasts.
Hope all is well with ExSoldier. Miami got hammered.
