BRING ON BETA!!!!

so....my first ever hurricane is coming. tho compared to Wilma, its not really much more than a lil thunder storm. Its currently only a Cat 1 with winds around 85 mph. Its supposed to strengthen to a Cat 2 before it hits the east Honduras coast with winds around 100 mph, but then its supposed to weaken back down to a Cat 1 by the time it gets to Tegucigalpa(where i am) so the winds here will probably only be like 70ish.

The thing is tho. its not really the wind that has people scared. I mean, yeah, 70 mph winds can do some serious damage, esp. in a place that seems to have trash just laying all over the place and houses made out of tin....but being in the mountains, when you get like 10 inches of rain, gravity takes over and all the water rushes to the valleys and cause massive flooding and high speed rivers in places that dont usually have rivers.(ie neighborhoods, etc.)

so yeah, im kinda hoping that Beta takes a turn to the north. send it to Florida or something.

Our house is kinda on a hill, and i would say is a solid maybe 30 or 40 feet above the bottom of the valley near us. Im not sure what that really means, but im sure its better than being in the bottom of the valley. I guess we´ll see....wish us luck.
