As of the Sunday 8 a.m. update by the National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Wilma has taken a northeast turn toward south Florida. The storm is currently moving at 8 mph and the projection by the National Hurricane Center takes the storm on a northeasterly course crossing southern Florida early on Monday (as a point of reference, Miami is approximately 230 miles from Orlando and Key West is approximately 369 miles away). An inland hurricane warning has been issued for the Central Florida area which means the area could feel the effects of hurricane force wind gusts, 74 mph or greater, during the next 24 hours.
