BBC NEWS | Americas | Mexico reels under force of Wilma

Wilma is a puzzling storm as it sits nearly stationary on the eastern edge of the Yucatan peninsula. Widespread devastation can be expected because some forecasts have it producing up to 40 inches of rain along with the high winds

This from the early Saturday Hurrican Advsory form The National Hurricane Center:

(WILMA IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE 10 TO 20 INCHES OF RAIN THROUGHSUNDAY ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN CUBA AND THE YUCATAN PENINSULA...WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF 40 INCHES POSSIBLE. OUTER RAINBANDS WILLCONTINUE TO AFFECT PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN FLORIDA... ESPECIALLY THE KEYS... PRODUCING 2 TO 4 INCH RAINFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH MONDAY.)

Ugh.
