Wilma again (ho hum)


Wilma finally made it to south Florida this morning, landing as a category 3 major hurricane about 20 miles south of Ft Myers. It seemed to linger around the Yucatan forever, but once it turned east it moved lickety-split.


It's gotten to the point that anything less than a category 4 landing is boring, though. Look at the sub-headlines on cnn.com:


  • Wilma trucks across Florida at hurricane force
  • 2.2 million homes without electricity
  • Heavy flooding reported in Florida Keys
  • Naples man: "I saw a bunch of stuff flying by"
  • Man in Coral Springs killed by a falling tree

Power outages, heavy flooding, stuff flying by, falling tree. LAME! If it doesn't involve the complete breakdown of civil order, roving gangs of murderous thugs, mass euthanasia and widespread cannibalism, what's the point of even covering it?
