This blog from Dr. Jeff Masters:
Wilma's impact on Mexico is likely to be catastrophic. A 50-mile wide stretch of coast will receive Category 4 to 5 sustained winds of over 150 mph, causing incredible damage. As Wilma sits in place for two days, the long duration of high winds will cause far more damage than a quickly moving storm would. The long duration extreme winds will probably cause some of the worst wind damage ever seen in a hurricane. The storm surge will not be as much as a problem, because deep water just offshore will prevent a huge storm surge from piling up. Still, the expected storm surge of up to 11 feet will cause widespread damage to coastal structures.In adddition, rainfall amounts of 15 - 25 will cause serious flooding. Wilma is likely to be Mexico's worst weather disaster in history.
If you guys are still online, are you absolutely sure you want to stay? Is it too late to leave? This sounds so much worse than Emily......and I spoke to people who stayed through Emily and said they would never again. PLEASE BE SAFE!!

HMB looks beat up already and Wilma hasn't even hit yet. Oh, please be careful Kay, Gary and everyone else who's there.
Kay, let me add my name to the people who like your new haircut - looks good.
Take care you two.

Nice to meet you, Kays Mom! You sure have a nice daughter--I've had the pleasure of her company down there a couple of times. We are all sending our prayers, and "LG karma" their way--I know you're worried about her & Gary. We are too. I'm sure we will be seeing you on the board a lot these next days.
