Hurricane Wilma: The Monday Take

This will be updated as I can Sunday night, Monday morning, and Monday day. If you have news, need to post to let someone know you are okay (or not), or have other info to share, please leave a comment and/or a trackback.

For those interested in seeing what is going on, Linda at Something... and Half of Something has a post with several good webcam links -- for as long as they last.

I'm also finding that hyku blog is also providing a lot of good info and links.

If Bou updates the map again, I will post a new version as soon as possible. My thanks to her and to Dave of The Glittering Eye for the help he has given her. This map is a great service to the blogosphere and to anyone wanting to cover this story/storm and future events.

UPDATE 0500 Central: Landfall, Marco Island, eyewall coming ashore. Right-Wing of the Gods appears to be off air but is promising to return ASAP. Boudicca has updated the map and signed off for the night.

Of the bloggers I know to be near the landfall according to the map, there are no new hurricane posts from American Future, nothing new from Ancient Mariner who did the evac to the mainland, and nothing new from Kathy of On The Third Hand since she boogied. Of the Key bloggers, nothing new from Mary Stella and nothing since last night from Bump and Grind though I love his comment "This is getting old." On the SW coast, the Snook Inn webcam appears to be down, as is the one at the Brooks Beach Club. In the Keys, not showing anything on the Schooner Wharf webcam or the Hog's Breath cam, nor is anything showing up on the Sunset Cam.

hyku blog continues to update, and hope his son is feeling better.

UPDATE: 0815 Central: Boudicca has lost her voice with the loss of her server. The day is saved, as always, by TGOO who is mercifully being spared this time and is also posting sitreps for her. Keep all the people down that way in your thoughts!

May I be added, please? I am a Florida blogger. I live just west of Orlando.

Please, keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I live in the highest level of my apartment building...which suffered a bit of damage last year from the hurricanes. This year, I am mostly worried about tornados.

I will be sitting this one out in my closet...holding my husband and animals close. (Why are we staying here? Because we have no where else to go...all the area hotels are booked).
