Oh No, Not Again

What was, when I last looked, Tropical Storm Wilma, is now Hurricane Wilma. Worse yet, it's Category 5 Hurricane Wilma. Jesus.

From Hurricane Wilma upgraded to catastrophic Category 5 (Reuters):

...The season's record-tying 21st storm, fueled by the warm waters of the northwest Caribbean Sea, strengthened alarmingly as it headed into the Gulf of Mexico on a path expected to lead across storm-weary southern Florida by Saturday.

An Air Force plane measured maximum sustained winds of near 175 mph (280 km/h) from the vicious storm, with higher gusts, the center reported at 5 a.m. (0900 GMT) on Wednesday.

The reconnaissance aircraft measured an estimated minimum air pressure of 884 MB, the lowest pressure ever observed in a in the Atlantic basin, the center reported, but cautioned that this reading should "be used with caution" until confirmed...

Good luck Cuba and Florida. I hope that thing tones down sooner rather than later.
