Wilma might have been my fault.

I distinctly remember getting into early October that year and saying we had made it through hurricane season unscathed.

It was notable after the barrage of 2004 (Charlie, Ivan, Jeanne and Francis) and 2005 (Katrina, Rita).

It seemed to make sense at the time since we had never had a bad hurricane that late in the season.

Alas, I was wrong. The eye went right over our house.

I jinxed us. It was my fault. I take full responsibility.
