Unfortunately, Wilma has already resulted in 11 fatalities. Mudslides from heavy rain have killed 10 in Haiti and 1 in Jamaica.

What about all that heavy rain in the Caribbean last week? I mean, it's the same system, and Haiti's woes are a combination of the two systems right now. I guess Puerto Rico's fatality would be considered separate, though...

I wouldn't be surprised if Wilma causes more fatalities when she goes through the gap between Cuba and the Yucatan (probably by causing flooding or mudslides). Would be nice if she would keep the casualties to a minimum, both in lives and property, but this storm probably has her eye on retirement.

She will be retired even if she went *poof* before reaching anymore land. The 882mb pressure is enough to get her retired on intensity alone.
