Wiiiilllmaaaa! 21st record-tying storm named....

[schultz]

I just read a pretty detailed account of how bad Cozumel and Cancun are getting hit right now by Wilma...  I hope no one we know is there!  Airports were shut down yesterday and everyone who couldn't leave is crowding desparately into emergency shelters, many areas with no power (shut off as a precaution).  Major damage expected, and the storm is so big and moving so slowly that it's now expected to keep "churning" and dumping flooding rains over the Yucatan peninsula all weekend.

One small bright spot, as it relates to us, is the final sentence (this is from an AP article that's in the New York Times this morning):

"In Belize, a nation south of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, officials canceled cruise ship visits and tourists were evacuated from islands offshore. But the tiny country weathered the storm with few reports of damage."
