Wilma in Naples

Hurricane Wilma's fierce winds and torrential rain pounded Naples, Fla., early on Oct. 24, 2005. An Air Force reconnaissance plane measured Wilma's wind speed at 120 mph, indicating the storm has weakened slightly since it hit landfall, at 6:30 a.m. EST at Cape Romano, about 20 miles west of Everglades City, according to Eric Blake, an official with the National Hurricane Center. Wilma is still powerful enough to rank as a Category 3 storm.
