Hurricane Wilma Strengthens
After going to bed last night to the ‘pitta patta’ of rain drops, I’m awaken this morning by heavy rumbling. “A wah dat” I cry out sitting up in bed. ‘Thunder” was the calm answer from my husband who obviously had been awake“. “But thunder no roll like that” I said. “You tell Wilma that” he said.
Hurricane Wilma has strengthened overnight from a category 1 to a category 5. Now packing winds of 175 mph the pressure has so far dropped to 884 millibars.
Thanks to ‘good old’ Weather Channel I was able to get this information at 4:30am in the morning. They are calling Hurricane Wilma the strongest hurricane this season with the lowest pressure ever recorded. When I look at the radar picture Jamaica still has quite a bit of those outer bands covering us in red.
Now I can’t sleep. I shudder to think what the continued heavy rains will do to our little island. ‘Pre’ Wilma has already saturated the earth and ‘Post’ Wilma is moving away very slowly. I will keep you posted later.
Nuff Love

Three Ministers
Three ministers - a Presbyterian, a Methodist, and a Southern Baptist and their wives were all on a cruise together. A tidal wave came up and swamped the ship, and they all drowned. The next thing you know, they're standing before St.Peter.
As fate would have it, the first in line was the Presbyterian and his wife. St. Peter shook his head sadly and said, "I can't let you in. You were moral and upright, but you loved money too much. You loved it so much, you even married a woman named Penny."
St.Peter waved sadly, and poof! Down the chute to the 'Other Place' they went. Then came the Methodist. "Sorry, can't let you in either," said Saint Peter "You abstained from liquor and dancing and cards, but you loved food too much.
You loved food so much, you even married a woman named Candy!" Sadly, St. Peter waved again, and whang! Down the chute went the Methodists.
The Southern Baptist turned to his wife and whispered nervously, "It ain't looking good, Fanny."
