Hurricane!

Hurricane Wilma is bringing back memories of Hurricane Dennis.

As Wilma enters the Gulf and strengthens, memories of Dennis enter my mind. Even though the eye wall came within 30 miles of us, we were fortunate to get the west side of the storm which is typically the lesser of the evils. In our area, Dennis became known as Dennis the Menace because it was merely an inconvenience that brought a lot of rain but little wind. It rained like crazy. More than I had ever seen with a storm of that size but admittedly we normally get the eastern part of the storm which usually means storm surge and high winds.
