Wiiiilmaaaa!

Is anyone else experiencing hurricane fatigue? And it's not like I'm
even going to be directly affected, unlike the poor souls in the
Yucatan Peninsula right now, or folks in Florida who are expecting
Wilma to hit around Monday.

By now, we're all old hands at wrapping up blog links around hurricanes and other natural disasters:

* Here's the Wikipedia entry on the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season
* Over at the Poynter Institute, Al's Morning Meeting has great Wilma resources, including some live Webcams and TV feeds from Florida
* Casting a political perspective on Wilma, the Babaulu Blog (found from Instapundit) takes a contrarian view to Cuba's hurricane preparations
* The AOL News folks have created another Citizen Journalism Photoblog for Wilma; there's nothing posted yet, though if you do get photos, you can send them in via this submission form (which wisely advises potential photogs to "be careful during and in the immediate aftermath of the storm.")

Anyway, all my hopes and wishes to everyone in the storm's path -- get out of the way and stay safe. -- Joe

I actually live in Port Arthur TX, Rita wasn't nearly as bad as they had planned and still our town STILL looks like a war zone a month later. I can't even imagine how these people will be after Wilma tears through their lives. All my thoughts are with them.
