963 mb is absurdly low for a cat 1 hurricane, but this is probably approaching cat 2 as we speak.


I agree. Katrina was a bit slow getting there, but at least she had the good sense to have 110mph winds when she was at 963mb. Wilma really is in the stone age when it comes to Hurricane Dos and Don'ts.

RC, I forgot about the eye being ragged before...you're right, that makes a huge difference.
