The popular holiday hotspot of Florida is still bracing itself for the arrival of Hurricane Wilma, although it is now expected to arrive 24 hours later than previously anticipated. The course of the hurricane has proven difficult for experts to predict, but they now believe it will reach Florida on Sunday.
The National Hurricane Centre said: "All interests in the Florida Keys and the Florida peninsula should closely monitor the progress of extremely dangerous Hurricane Wilma.
"Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion."
Tourists in the Florida Keys have been asked to evacuate the region while the emergency services make preparations, although obligatory evacuations have been delayed for the meantime.
Even though the hurricane is not as strong as it has been earlier in the week, the potential for it to get stronger remains a possibility and Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, has declared a state of emergency.
