Title: Looting Breaks Out in Mexico After Wilma

CANCUN, Mexico - Mexicans and stranded tourists, hungry and frustrated after a two-day beating by Hurricane Wilma, stood in line to buy supplies Sunday or simply raided grocery or furniture stores, dragging goods from shops ripped open by the storm.

The hurricane's steady march toward southern Florida meant an end here to two days of howling winds and torrential rains that shattered windows, peeled away roofing and sent the ocean crashing into hotel lobbies. The sun emerged over Mexico's sugar-white Caribbean beaches.

But another kind of chaos took over, as police shot into the air to scare looters away from a shopping center, and looters responded by throwing rocks and chucks of concrete.

Downtown, officials feared looters would turn on tourists, so they quickly evacuated more than 30 foreigners from a downtown area overrun by people raiding stores. Military officials and police stood guard outside businesses and set up checkpoints to seize stolen goods.

"It's chaos," said fire official Gregorio Vergara. "They are taking things all over the city."

One group of residents pushed carts against the boarded-up windows of a grocery store in an attempt to break in. At a convenience store, Cancun resident Alex Aguilar took batteries and aspirin.

"The window was broken, so we just went in and got what we wanted," he said.

Others waited in long lines at the few stores that were open. Some American tourists without local currency offered $100 bills for $5 calling cards.

Just a little heads-up to friends of ARG.

Our physical location is Sarasota, FL, and it appears that we are in the direct path of Wilma. We've been lucky in the past, but only time will tell.

Everyone be safe.

Thank you.

I guess I'll use this thread to maintain contact in case ARG goes down and all hell breaks loose.

I'm still optimistic that this might just blow over and we'll just get a little rain.

cheers

That's one reason I'm not too worried. There are alot of CIA-linked flight schools and other assets down here, particularily in Venice, that might not be economically viable to destroy.

Couldn't be Putin. Georgie-boy looked in his eyes and assured us his soul is a good one indeed.

Hi BR. I remember that comment, quite well. LA will wish for the Golden Horde of the Mongols to restore "order".

I would not want to be around for that party.
