Quote: Did not Wilma take a west to east B-Line to South Florida?
It was more NE and formed at a lower latitude. Wilma went thru my backyard in NW Broward we got the eye wall, winds were pushing 90 mph. Without a doubt the worse storm I’ve been thru. No power for nearly 3 weeks.
Not liking this forecast at all. The NHC has it as Cat 2 / 3 at landfall, shear will be increasing but only at the tail end of its gulf crossing. Models are still iffy on forward speed and overall strength but location wise it’s Tampa to points north or south by 70 miles or so.
