First Hand Account from Hurricane Wilma

I just received the following from my friend, Maria, in Florida:

We got hit very hard with Hurricane Wilma.
Brian was in Pittsburgh so I was alone with the dog. They said that would just be a category 1 in the west cost of Florida and a tropical storm when it got to us...
Big change!! We got a category 3 and had a lot of damage. I was sure that the roof was going to pop up because when I was hidden in the
closet I could hear some nails getting of so I got a mattress and put on top us us (me and the dog). She really didn't know why was doing that, but was very scared too.

WE are OK! I'm exhausted, drained. We lost the half of the building that didn't blow last year. An exausted but stronger Maria.
