*sigh* i wish my family were here. they apparently wanted to "hunker down" with the best of them, and stayed behind in orlando. it may have been a good idea since hurricane jeanne went south of them, on its westerly track, not turning north until they were out of the path. still, they are having strong winds there now, 71 mph! winds have steadily increased here in lutz and, as it turns out, the hurricane is coming straight towards me.
i knew i would get a lucky break one of these storms.
im home, obviously, but not by force though. i am packing for my trip and so far i have my money belt and passport ready. oh, and a paperback book i found at work. oh and, well.. thats it actually. i really need to focus. focus, now, focus...
sorry, suitcase, the wind is distracting me. its blowing ferociously in bursts and the trees i love so dearly are bending as if doing some twisted type of curtsy, bowing to the fury of jeanne. (pretty good metaphor, huh, or is it analogy?) either way, i hope they survive. jeanne's bloody eye is expected in lutz around noon. 2.5 hours countdown begins!
you would think im actually happy about this hurricane, wouldnt you? i admit my heart has greatly desired this.
perhaps i will learn my lesson the hard way. i just heard a tree snap and the lights are beginning to flicker. i feel more like an observer of this storm, snug in my living room with a mug of coffee, watching it as if its happening somewhere else and not in my backyard. others are not so fortunate.
