Hurricane Wilma...
LORDY, I JUST LOOKED AT WEATHER.COM, AND HERE'S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT WILMA.
It's been confirmed: Hurricane Wilma, with a pressure of 882 mb, is the most intense hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin. Wilma, after undergoing a stunning intensification overnight, is now a potentially catastrophic Category 5 hurricane packing sustained winds of 175 mph. The eye of the violent storm continues to follow a wobbling WNW track through the western Caribbean with a turn toward the NW expected during the next 24 hours.
Fluctuations in intensity are likely, but Wilma is forecast to remain an extremely dangerous Category 5 hurricane through Thursday. The projected track of the storm takes it through the Yucatan Channel into the extreme southern Gulf of Mexico Friday. After that, Wilma is expected to come under the influence of westerly winds aloft blowing across the Gulf. That should hurl the hurricane toward the Florida Peninsula, probably the southern part of the peninsula, this weekend. Wilma is expected to be weakening by then, but weakening is a relative term and Wilma may still be a major hurricane (winds over 110 mph) when it makes landfall.
Meanwhile, in the Caribbean, Wilma's downpours will continue to lash Cuba, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Swan Island and areas from Honduras northward to Yucatan Peninsula. As much as 25 inches of rain may unload on the mountainous terrain of Cuba through Friday.
I HOPE ANYONE IN HER PATH GETS OUT BEFORE SHE HITS. WE'LL BE THINKING ABOUT EVERYONE.
