One thing for sure, few young couples will be able to tell of honeymooning while Wilma howled outside their window. Kevin and Heather (Robbins) Miller did but they don’t recommend it at all.

They left Greensburg for their honeymoon trip Mexico Monday, Oct. 17. Wednesday morning, while at Riveria Maya they were told they must leave because a major hurricane was headed their way.

Simple so far?

It wasn’t.

When they arrived at the airport they found that any flight they booked was soon canceled. In fact, they were finally told to get out of the airport.

They were also running out of money but couldn’t use credit cards because with no electricity the card couldn’t be swiped through the machine.

They have since learned that others were using their own credit cards.

The couple was in their hotel room when Wilma hit. Winds up to 180 mph blew out windows in the hallways causing a lot of shaking of the building but it was the noise that was so unsettling.

Kevin said, “I will tell you that I would rather be in the actual
