Hey Wilma I'm home!
How bad can she be? CBS reports,"At 11 a.m. EDT, the storm was located about 170 miles from Cozumel, Mexico, and heading west-northwest at nearly 7 mph. Maximum sustained winds were "only" 145 mph.
Still, Wilma is expected to get stronger over the next 24 hours, and hurricane center director Max Mayfield warned, "If this were the only hurricane of the season, this would be the event of the year."
Even residents who rode out Charley are making evacuation plans, reports Acosta. After Katrina, it just doesn't make sense to stay.
"We're outta here. Tallahassee, here I come," sang a woman heading for northern Florida.
Even that might not be far enough.
"This storm could affect the whole east Coast next week, as possibly even a hurricane ... Long Island and coastal New England," warned Cullen. "We could see a pretty serious storm if this storm track holds up."
