Fay is predicted to track a bit to the left of the Keys hopefully sparing Key West a direct hit. It is predicted to build to a Category 1 hurricane by the time it escapes Cuba and steams across the Gulfstream. Somehow, the news of the strengthening offsets the news of the western drift. Alex, I’ll take “Westward Ho” for $100 – but this isn’t Jeopardy.
I choose to remain at my home during the unprecedented hurricane season of ’05. Even as Wilma’s witching winds blew I was glad I stayed. There was a sense of community; a collective consciousness amongst us islanders that we were all in this together. Here we go again weathering two storms– Fay and Gloria. Let’s call them The Twin Furies. And although I’m not there to help my neighbors, and drink with my friends, the sense of togetherness transcends the distance.
Is this drug for you?

I'll keep down the hatches for you until you return. Weve rode the waves through other dark nights together. Sending you my love and prayers, and with you all in spirit.
Love and prayers to you, Gloria, and family. Shes a beautiful soul.
May you all feel the embrace of all who love you.
Ashley
