Wilma - 2, Ed - 1
I got another email from Ed around 6:45 PM—
Please don’t respond to this email. I won’t get it.. this is pretty much a one shot and then I’ll be unavailable for an undetermined time. The shelter I’m in is pretty sturdy (close to a bunker), and it’s survived cat5s before, but by all accounts this one will get very ugly. There is almost no chance that there will be a flight on Saturday… so I’m playing this one by ear. The people taking care of us are very good at what they do. I’ll be fine.
p.s. I’m keeping a journal of my experiences during this… I’ll let you decide if it’s blog worthy.
Oops. I guess I made a pre-emptive decision here.
UPDATE: Ed managed to borrow a working cell phone and called me from a bunker in Cancun. He’s sharing the space with about eight other people. They’re going to ride out the storm well away from the shore. Apparently water is rationed, but Ed managed to bring some food with him. He told me he’d be incommunicado for a while, possibly until Saturday morning, depending on how fast the storm moves through. I should hear from him as soon as he’s safely out of the shelter, though.

I think a variant on the old saying is in order here: “Experience is what you get when you wanted a vacation.”

has ed left instructions as to the disposition of his zombie films if he doesn’t make it back alive? because if not, i would like to be the first to volunteer to burn “nudist colony of the dead” in ed’s memory.
