Miamist Launches Amid Storm

We gotta tell you now that when a natural disaster hits our area we're hightailing it out of here so fast your head will spin and there will be no live updates on the tragedy until we're safely encamped in the newly coastal city of Spokane, WA. Some are made of stronger stuff, though, and the folks down in Miami have looked into the face of Wilma and found that the only sensible thing to do was to launch Miamist.com. We officially welcome them to the fold and wish them the best of luck with their site and storm.

The hatches are battened, but the internets are still open so go check them out:

Metal is peeling and all of our window screens are blowing off. This thing is really scary. We have lost all power and the wind gusts are incredible. Just a minute ago we could hear fire engines until every car alarm in the parking lot started going off. With no air conditioning, it is getting hot and no idea what the constant snapping sound is from outside the building... wondering if that's the roof? One more band like that and this thing is going to come off... shingles everywhere.
