Photos of Cancun destruction from Wilma today at this blog

[Up2Late]

They are too big to post them here (you might be able to, but I wouldn't unless you can make them smaller). The power will be out for quite a while, but most of the buildings held up fairly well.

Go to this link and scroll down past the first 3 or 4 e-mail posts, and you will start to see the links to the photos.

If you keep scrolling, you will see that these guys "road out" the storm there, which is what the first few emails are angry about.

1. Incredible.

I am even more concerned about the local people after having seen what happened to these concrete and steel buildings.

Thanks for posting this.

3. I have a feeling that's just the tip of the iceberg.

This year has really sucked.

Thanks for posting those, I have no tv so I really appreciate being able to see the footage.

6. Here's a few really good weather and storm tracking sites I found...

...recently.

For Storm tracking, this one is the best: <http://tsr.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/>

<http://tsr.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/tracker/dynamic/200524N_0H.html>

And the one below, that I found yesterday, has a really great interactive Weather Advisory feature, where you just click on your State (if it highlighted), then click on your County and you get all the local weather advisories for your area.

Here are the links:

This is the current wind model from: <http://tsr.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/tracker/dynamic/200524N_0H.html>

4. They just started showing video on "The Weather Channel" too.

I have both channels here.

On Edit: I can't believe they have reporters out on Key West right now, Mike Sidel is really getting blown around.

5. Hey thanks.

Hopefully Florida DUers are out of harm's way.
