WTF? Hurricane Wilma is 'Extremely Dangerous Category 5'..

[Hardrock69]

Hurricane Wilma has strengthened into an "extremely dangerous" Category 5 hurricane, with sustained maximum winds of 175 mph, the National Hurricane Center said today. The hurricane's minimum pressure is 892 millibars -- the lowest pressure observed in 2005. Forecasters warn that the storm could slam into southwestern Florida by this weekend.

WTF? We don't need to be attacked by other countries....Mother Nature is kicking our asses...

I use to own some land on Sanibel Island. I sold it two years ago with mixed feelings. Glad I did it now.

Is it going to be like this in November? Cos David Lee Roth is giving concerts over there. I hope not. I thought October and November would be quite month for Hurricanes. I hope is going to die down.

This morning on the Weather Channel, I heard that it was 882, which would make it the strongest hurricane in recorded history. The previous record holder was Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 (888 millibars).

In the Atlantic basin, I forgot to add that.

Super Typhoon Tip is the most intense and largest storm on record, I believe.

Things typically wind down by then, but don't let your guard down. There have been major hurricanes in the month of November. Hurricane Michelle (2001) comes to mind...

As long as the water warm enough, there will be hurricanes.
