Wilma Racing Northeast as a Strong Category Three

10 PM EDT Update
Wilma is located 320 miles south of Cape Hatteras,NC; and is racing NE at 38 MPH.
Maximum sustained winds are near 125 MPH, a Strong Category 3.

2:30PM Update
Wilma is moving away from Florida, and has torn through the southern half of the state, many in south Florida are without power. Damage reports are mixed right now, and I haven't heard much news from the Keys.

Wilma is restrengthening once again over water, but is finally out to sea.

It has turned chilly here in the wake of Wilma, a very odd thing for a hurricane.

Updates will continue to be sporadic today.

Original Update
Wilma is nearling landfall. With 125MPH it's solidly a Category 3 storm, approaching Marco Island in Southwest Florida. Moving very rapidly at 20MPH.

Updates may be sporadic today.
