Re: Wilma Nears Category 5 Intensity

well the plane is still up and flying..... but i bet they took a beating on that first pass....
like thudebrd said..... i bet they didn't expect that kind of drop.... and i would bet someone from NHC or HRD has made a phone call to get a research plane up and reay to go at first chance..... i know there is one going in later today.... but i bet some of those research HRD guys are crapping in there pants right noe....wanting to get some research data from this historical event......one plane is good... but more would be better...
