Re: Wilma Nears Category 5 Intensity

Quote:

Interesting note. If Wilma makes landfall in Florida then every state on the Gulf Coast will have been affected by a storm that
reached cat 5 status this season, those storms being Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. The states affected-TX, LA, MS, AL, and FL.
FL felt some effects from Katrina also but Wilma looks like she will have a direct impact on the state.
Rita followed closely behind Katrina and now we have Wilma at Cat 5 less than a month after Rita. Lots of records this season.
Let's hope this is the last big hurricane of the season.

Take it from someone in Miami-Dade County - we felt more than just "some effects" from Katrina - no power for a week, trees down all over and leaks in roofs!
