Re: Wilma Approaching the Yucatan Peninsula

well, i just measured out the distance from my area to the coast in sarasota. I am approximately 8 mi. from the coast (the inner coast, not siesta key). a little closer than i had previously thought. is this far enough from the coast that the hurricane will dissipate, say from a cat 4 to cat 2 before it hits me?
