Hurricane Rips Across Florida, Killing at Least 7
From the NY Times:
NAPLES, Fla. - Hurricane Wilma charged across South Florida in a few turbulent hours Monday morning, thrashing neighborhoods on both of the state's coasts, shattering high-rise windows, pushing seawater over much of the Florida Keys and knocking out power to an estimated 3.4 million homes and businesses.
This morning, Wilma was in the Atlantic Ocean, about 310 miles east of Cape Hatteras, N.C. with maximum sustained winds of 115 miles per hour. It is not expected to cause further damage in the United States.
