Hurricane Wilma battered Mexico’s Caribbean resorts yesterday. Six are dead. She is now picking up speed and heading to Florida. The storm’s outer bands are already causing flooding in the Sunshine State. Evacuations have been under way all weekend. The Storm Track has all the latest on Wilma’s movements. Weather blogger Jeff Masters watches Tropical Storm Alpha. Brendan Loy looks at Wilma and Alpha.

In Florida, the Florida Masochist and Florida Cracker prepare for Wilma’s landfall.

Florida Cracker notes that NBC’s Canoe Girl has landed on Fort Myers Beach to cover Wilma. Hope she took my shopping advice.
