Hurricane Wilma ploughs into Florida's south-west coast
Hurricane Wilma crashed ashore early today as a strong Category 3 storm, battering south-west Florida with 125 mph winds and pounding waves as it began a dash across the state.
The same storm that brought ruin over the weekend to resort towns along Mexico’s Yucatan Coast flooded large sections of Key West and other areas and knocked out power to more than 300,000 homes and businesses in the Keys and in such places as Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
