Okay, finally got some pics/video of the storm online.

Here's some video that I shot during the storm. These clips were taken before things turned REALLY ugly. After that I was too scared/busy to worry with capturing anything.

This is when you know you're having a bad day. We were watching the doppler radar and I saw that the eye was coming very close to us. So I ran to the window to take this picture. The light area in the sky is the eye of Hurricane Wilma, just a few miles to the northwest of us. Believe me, it's much better to have the eye go overhead than glance by you. The worst wind is in the eye wall, and we spent considerable time there.


A few shots of the damage:








Here's a link to a page I set up to send to friends/family, it has all of these and a few more:
