Whats more interesting is that Mobile P'Cola New Orleans Burras La is in the strike prob if it is suppose to hit SW Fla.

Are there any reports out of Cozmel or Cancun??? Last I heard they had lost all communication with Cozmel around 4 yesterday. One of the Wilma maps on the sticky shows that the eye is grazing the island.....just curious if anyone knows of a site or channel that might show what is going on or if they have heard of the amount of damage so far. I feel horrible. These areas have been just hammered by a major hurricane for a few dsays now. I sure hope they got ready while they could.

too have been that close to land for this long she really still looks good on satellite.
Katie-i have been looking at the radar all day and cozumel is about to go into the eye cancun however is about to get slammed with the northwest outer eyewall which looks to be VERY intense i really dont think the way theyve been pounded today that there are any lines left for communication. God i hope they are alright.

I can no longer view cancun radar (Probably been knocked out by winds) but judging by the GOES floaters it looks as if wilma has made landfall on the yuctan just south of cancun mexico.

The eye is completely over the island now; it has to be very bad. I went to this website and found no report (go figure) and a web image from yesterday showing dark skies with blowing palms:

I've found that curious too and wondered about that. I don't wish it on Fla, Ala or La. I'm just relieved that Texas hasn't been in the strike prob.
Go ASTROS!
