Wilma Now a Category 5

Good afternoon to all,
how's your day going?

Well, here we are Wednesday, just two days after I last commented on Wilma, who was projected to become a major hurricane, and did she ever! By measure of barometric pressure, Hurricane Wilma is now the most intense Atlantic storm in recorded history, surpassing both Hurricane Katrina and Rita, and setting the record for gaining such strength in such a short period of time. Though the storm is likely to be downgraded to a Category 3 by the time it makes landfall somewhere on the western coast of Florida, this is still one heck of a storm for all of us near the Gulf of Mexico to keep an eye on. Be prepared out there, my friends, word on the news is that at it's current speed and track (175 mph sustained winds, with movement to the West-Northwest at 7 mph) , the storm could be effecting the Florida coast or neighboring states by sometime Friday or Saturday.

Stay safe!
