Cold Front Blows Through - More Damage than Wilma

Garbage cans, pool umbrellas, basketball hoops tip as gusts up to 40 miles an hour bring 40s and 50s overnight to Florida.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Gamma Gone!

Gamma's maximum sustained winds dropped to 35 miles per hour and has been downgraded to a tropical depression. We have a few clouds but otherwise should be unaffected.

Gamma....Yup!

And incredibly, it may make landfall in South Florida following the track of Wilma!

Heading into Thanksgiving week, we are at the very top of the "cone of uncertainty tonight"

Gamma Ray?

This is the Greek letter Gamma

Tropical Depression #27....that's right, the year's 27th tropical system, is bouncing around south of Jamaica. May become a Tropical Storm, be named Gamma and would be the 24th named storm of this record breaking season. Potential to become a hurricane by week's end.

Not too concerned here but it gives the weathermen something to talk about and "keep an eye on".
