bkdelongDr. Jeff from Weather Underground has pointed out that Wilma is the strongest hurricane on record at 884mb. It bested 1988's Gilbert at 888mb. I don't know how it happened, but it jumped from a Cat 1 at 21:00GMT yesterday to a bloody Cat 5 at 09:00 GMT this morning. Unbelievable. Current models? Send it right through the Keys and South Florida after bouncing off Quintana Roo/Cancun/Cozumel. At the moment, it is looking like it may be a Cat 4 by then but it's still way too early to tell. Let's see when it passes into the Gulf between Cuba and Mexico.
Be safe!
