Re: Wilma, Category 5 and Breaking Records

WILMA'S THREAT TO FLORIDA'S TREASURE COAST

Here's a funny one from Accuweather: I thought the Treasure coast was from Vero Beach to Stuart!!!!!!!!!!!

Accuweather.com forecasters are calling Hurricane Wilma a dangerous Category 5 storm, with winds packing 175 mph.

Wilma is expected to lose strength, falling to a Category 3 storm before making landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast on the weekend. It is expected to pack the same power Katrina had when it slammed into the U.S. in August, killing more than 1,200 people.

Wilma's path will likely threaten areas that were devastated by Hurricane Charley. The Category 4 storm was the first of the six hurricanes that have struck Florida since August 2004.

Supermarkets and building supply stores in the Sunshine State are stocked with extra food, water, ice and other supplies in anticipation of a rush by residents. Florida's Department of Emergency Management reminds Floridians living in the Keys and the peninsula to make sure that their family disaster preparedness plans are completed during the next few days.

Sorry, I highted the area of the paragraph that said treasure coast, but it disappeared. It said Wilmas path would likely threaten the Treasure Coast areas devastated by Charley! The Treasure coast didn'
t even get touched by Charley!
