Cancun's old downtown is 62 miles, and the northern "isla" resort hub is 61 miles. Emily is at closest approach to Cancun right now at 69 miles from the resort hub.
Compare that to say Dennis hitting just east of Pensacola on Santa Rosa Island, and 69 miles is how far away the exact midpoint of Panama City Beach was from the eye at landfall.
Yep the winds are pretty much comprable to those that Panama got...except I think they were a neglible amount stronger (Only because they screamed a bit mroe)
