150kts isn't just a major huricane. It's a Katrina/Rita hurricane (150 kts = 172.5 mph). That's an ominous forecast at this point in time. Unfortunately, the intensity models this season have not been that far off - predicting the rapid intensification of both Katrina and Rita.
Has a single Atlantic Basin season EVER had 3 cat 5 hurricanes before? It's premature to say that we'll have cat 5 Wilma in a few days :?: but... if it happens... I may have to seriously contemplate moving to Alaska!
