Not a bad time to plan a short future vacation, and then, if the track changes, you can always cancel.Beyond Belief said:

Hmm, I wonder which way we could go.
Don't know for sure if its going south or north. LOL
Maybe reservations in each direction would be smart.

Wilma could turn out to be a real monster. It is projected as possibly attaining Category Four status tomorrow, with a few more days over open warm water. The 5 day cone shows it moving very fast across Florida which will help lessen the damage if it does hit Florida.
