Meanwhile, on the Other Apoclyptic Front

Hurricane Wilma. Reading the updates. Cancunkev posts pictures from his condo (or hotel?). You can see that Señor Frog is going to take a massive hit. In the first set of pictures it has already lost an awning. And the waves are taking out not just the beach, but the edge of the pavement as well. Later photos show a retaining wall being completely washed away, and the roof over Cancunkev's patio collapses. Still he uploads photos! Finally the visibility goes to 0 and the generator is scheduled to go off.

It sounds from all the reports I have read that the Mexican authorities have been efficient at getting people out of harm's way. Of course we will not know for sure until the storm passes, but every indication so far is that people are safe. Kev promises more photos tomorrow when the eye passes. It looks like it will linger over the Yucatan before turning around for Florida. That will be terrible for the residents because they are supposed to get an inch of rain per hour. The Gulf is really getting a pounding this year.
