Eye of the storm

Talk about being in the heart of things- here I am sitting at the lobby of the Winterhaven Hotel on South Beach, Miami, just meters away from the Atlantic Ocean watching the storm clouds of Tropical Storm Katrina come our way. She should hit landfall by tomorrow, but we'll be back in the safe confines of our aunt's farm by then. We're leaving South Florida by mid-day and should miss the storm by a long shot. No Key West for us though- you try driving through an open-water highway in a storm- and that's a bummer, but we got a great day at the beach yesterday and it was gorgeous.

I'll update once we get back to Ocala- wish us luck escaping the storm!

Good lord...do be careful. I heard the report on the news and it didn't connect that you were down there. Sorry you'll miss key west.
