UPI paints a Katrina-like picture of South Florida after Hurricane Wilma's devastation:

MIAMI, Oct. 24 (UPI) — Hurricane Wilma's race across South Florida and the Keys left at least seven people dead and millions without power.

The eye of the hurricane hit the west coast at dawn near Naples. Wilma, which subjected Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula to almost three days of battering, moved so fast that by 1 p.m. the eye was northeast of Palm Beach.

But the powerful storm packed winds of up to 120 mph. It lost a little power as it moved overland but sustained winds of 105 mph were recorded in West Palm Beach.

By Monday evening, seven deaths had been reported, The New York Times said. Gov. Jeb Bush warned residents to stay inside, reminding them that many hurricane-related deaths occur after a storm has passed.

The dead included a man in Coral Springs, near Fort Lauderdale killed by a falling tree; two men in Collier County, one crushed by the roof of his house and the other dead of a heart attack, and a woman killed in a car crash while trying to escape the storm, the Times reported.

The Miami Herald said that a man in Palm Beach County died when he tried to move his car and a woman died of heart failure after being crushed by a glass door.
