Default First signs of Wilma!

Well the weather is still average, nothing much to report. But the waves are building at the beach! Went to Clearwater today, and anyone whos been will tell u usually the sea is like a pond and so calm etc. Well today the Waves are building which is a sign Wilma is lurking somwhere!!! Here the pics, there not massive waves but big considering the water is usually dead quite.






And this happens when u get struck be a wave when u are looking at some girls lol




Will keep u update if anything else happens lol

I vaguely remember Clearwater (it was 12-13 years ago), and I definitely don't remember waves like that......in fact, it was almost like a lake, at times.

what would you prefer them to be called then AJ?

they start with A then go through the alphabet - so being on W shows theres been loads so far! and if theres been a big one before called William or Walter then doubt they will use that name again!
