Re: Wilma Crosses over Cozumel

I don't think NHC focuses on any particular site 72 hours out -- The media certainly gets much more 'juice' out of a landfall in a major city

Biggest issue is logistics -- evacuating a major city -- Miami, Houston, NO is much more exciting to the media and unfortunately occasionally they do get hit and damage is more intense due to more people being in harms way
