one-year-old Devon Anderson of Sacramento, California, was sharing 10 rooms at a rundown Cozumel school with 200 other Americans. "We are all sleeping on the floor," she said. "There's no food, no water." At the Xbalamque Hotel, a downtown Cancun shelter for evacuees from beachfront resorts, U.S. tourist Becky Hora, 37, watched the flood in the street gradually rise up the steps toward the lobby as winds howled and falling trees thudded. "We had four good days, and now this. And let me just say, it's awful," she said. "I thought that last night we had made it through the worst of it. And now it turns out this is only the beginning. It's hard to stay calm." Ronnie Croley, 46, said he lost power at his Madison, Mississippi, home for four days after Hurricane Katrina struck in late August, then had to help his company clean up a factory damaged by Hurricane Rita. "This was supposed to be a little break for us, but now here we are again," he said. No injuries were reported as the hurricane moved in. Cancun Red Cross director Ricardo Portugal said the biggest problem so far had been "nervous crises" and 11 pregnant women ferried to hospitals because worries over the storm had induced labor. At midday Friday, the hurricane was centered about 25 kilometers (15 miles) east-southeast of Cozumel, advancing to the northwest at about 7 kph (5 mph). The hurricane's eye stretched for about 55 kilometers (35 miles) _ nearly the distance from Cozumel to Cancun. Early Wednesday, Wilma briefly became the most intense hurricane recorded in the Atlantic with 882 millibars of pressure, breaking the record low of 888 set by Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. Lower pressure brings faster winds.
