Woke up this morning and turned on the news hoping to hear that this storm was falling apart or at least heading anywhere but where I live but the news is not good at all.
"Hurricane Wilma's sustained winds reached 175 mph and its pressure unofficially dropped as low as 884 mb this morning, making it possibly the strongest Category 5 hurricane ever with a projected path that crosses southern Florida from west to east.
"This is probably the lowest minimum pressure ever observed in the Atlantic Basin and is followed by the 888 mb minimum pressure associated with hurricane Gilbert in 1988," according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami."
I guess spending this weekend relaxing on the beach is out of the question.
