I mean... adding up the Cancun area damage and the damage that's likely to happen in South Florida...

What could be the damage numbers Wilma will leave?

Second? Maybe. First? No way in hell, not with Katrina.

this may very well top andrew because it will bring hurricane winds to all 3 major SE cities. Less damage to individual structures, but more structures receiving damage

Could Wilma end up being Mexico's costliest hurricane ever?

I think that's a given... it has already been declared so by the national media. People from Cancun say this was much, much worse than Gilbert.
