Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes said yesterday that their love is "stronger than Hurricane Katrina". Let's hope it's stronger than Hurricane Wilma too, because they're planning to wed in Cancun next month. (Holmes has been seen on the circuit recently alongside the woman known to her Spanish detractors as Possespice, the fasson victim.)
My friend Mark from Belize sent me these images of flooding on Caye Caulker which yesterday caught a side swipe from wild Wilma. High ground isn't really an option there!
V's niece Jeannette has been feeding us details of the damage done by Stan. This public beach at Panajachel is no more.
Antigua got off very lightly, but the countryside to the north-west of town suffered flooding of varying degrees of severity. The house of V's tia Yema in Pastores was inundated with muddy waters from the river behind; news that saddened me because I know how hard she worked to keep her home impeccably tidy.
