They were talking about 20-25ft storm surges if it veers north just a little a bit into northern florida. Let's hope it just goes through the keys and glades.

Correct, for the Atlantic basin. It also holds the record for the fastest development from Cat 1 to Cat 5, supposedly a once in 300 years event. It's also the first "W" storm, since in 1933 we weren't using names yet. It also holds the record for the smallest eye ever recorded, 2 nautical miles across.Originally posted by Park Avenue
"STRONGEST HURRICANE EVER RECORDED"
For the Atlantic yeah. Typhoon Tip (I think) was stronger.
Super Typhoon Tip wasn't stronger than Wilma, just a lot bigger. Tip was the largest storm on Earth in recorded history.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

I have a car reserved, and hopefully no one decides to hang on to it when they are supposed to return it. We might have a half day at work, so at least I'll get my paycheck, so I can get the flock outta dodge if need be, though some of the models are showing the storm heading far to the South.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

At least you aren't hit from the seaside this time, though low alititude swamp areas doesn't provide much cover.
And be nice to the squrills this time
Good luck
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Low altitude swamps provide no cover, since they are filled with warm water. As far as a 'cane is concerned, may as well be open sea. Tha's why I'm gettin' outta town, provided everything works out. I really don't want to stay for this.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

I heard on this morning's news that the same jet stream that is pushing Wilma towards Florida will knock it down to about a Category 2 by the time it hits land. Here's hoping that's true.Originally posted by The Emperor Fabulous
Wilma is currently the STRONGEST HURRICANE EVER RECORDED

Hope it goes east quickly and not north east
I dont want it to hit anyone, but we want it to go east when it crosses Florida so as to stay out of warm gulfstream, which is a lot like Kerosene to a fire
