hurricane Wilma,Key Largo,et al


Hurricane Wilma passed through southern Florida today, so I decided to watch Key Largo on DVD since I own a copy. This was the first time I made the connection with Lionel Barrymore's story and the labor day hurricane of 1935, and after watching the movie I came on this website and very much enjoyed reading your posts. It's amazing how such large storms can hit those tiny islands, yet they bounce right back, today just hours after Key West got blasted the sun was out and people were already getting power back and picking up. I lived in Kissimmee last year when Hurricanes Charley,Frances,and Jean ripped through and it was like nothing I ever experienced, and that was inland, I can't imagine being stuck on a tiny island and getting hit by a Cat 5.
I suppose if the film Key Largo was remade today, Johnny Rocco and his goons would not have stayed, they would have left as soon as they saw Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel checking into the hotel.

I think I'd leave if I saw ole Jim checking in!!
I'm not brave. Don't know how people stay when they don't have to!
