wiiiiiiiiiiiiilmaaaaaah

i just heard from my mom in ft. lauderdale. she and my sister are ok. nothing major to her apartment, but a window did shatter, and the entire bedroom is soaked. the damage to the town, though, is frightening, and it's being reported as the worst hurricane damage in 55 years. you can view pictures here.


addendum at 7:13PM: right now, fox news (gotta love 'em) is reporting from the tiki bar in ft. myers, where apparently many west coast floridians are "recovering" from the storm via leis, neon signs, accoustic bands, and mixed tropical drinks. only on fox news from florida, where the hurricane didn't even directly hit
