Hurricane Wilma crashed ashore in southwest Florida and roared across the peninsula, pounding Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach on Monday after slamming Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and killing 17 people in the Caribbean. Wilma's powerful core struck the Florida mainland on the west coast near Naples, blasting beach sand across coastal roads, shredding power lines, bending palm trees and causing widespread flooding.
