I just saw someone on CNN in "downtown" Naples, looked like old Naples. Streets are flooded with 3-4"+ of water. The winds were very strong.

Cnn reporter in Hollywood, FL saying a hotel clerk who has lived there for 25 years says that he saw for the first time a palm tree down.

It hit and destroyed a CNN SUV, the envirowhackos are no doubt happy.

Destroying Alpha really has no effect on Wilma at all.

No, the question was, has a hurricane ever gone across Florida to the east out to the Atlantic and come around for another hit?
