Super Hurricane Wilma - Lowest pressure EVER recorded!

Ziroc · 10-19-2005, 06:13 AM

884mb .... LOWEST PRESSURE EVER RECORDED. SUPER HURRICANE. HISTORY IN THE MAKING RIGHT NOW. ASTONISHING !!!!

That is amazing... And it looks to be headed for south Florida. (I am in central Florida and may get the top part of it--not as bad)

So if we are down Friday through Tuesday or one of those days in between, its because of this Hurricane coming.

It's ALREADY a cat 5--and a record breaking one (yet again). The planets weather is changing guys. something is very wrong with it..

If this storm jogs more north, we're gonna shut down, and evacuate with Choc. And wrap all the PCs in trash bags and hope all is ok. We don't live near the coast, but last year, 1000's of trees and roofs were messed up. And that was a cat 3 or 2.. we are 60 miles inland.. safe from 80% of the damaging winds, but they CAN spawn Tornados.

Keep an eye to this Forum for the latest updates.

O sheesh, will it ever end ?

Blimey Z, hope you come through it ok. This was not even a category 3 last night (british time) but they said it might feed from this warm stream overnight. It must really be growing fast to hit a category so quickly 5

Looks like in 24 hours it went from a cat 1 to cat 5. Going to keep a eye on this one. Batten down the hatches. Good Idea Z about packing up and getting out.

The long-range forecast has Wilma weakening to a Category 3 by Saturday, before hitting the United States. Due to the erratic nature of hurricane movement, such long-term forecasts often change.

Let's hope the forecasts are right for a change, though. Good luck in any case, Z.

Wow, there really have been a large number of hurricanes and storms this year! Take care, Dan, and get out if it looks bad! We don't want a tree falling on you, Donna or Choc!

Come on up, Ziroc. We have a place for you, the wife and of course the forum's iconic cat.

A friend of mine who is a bit of a crackpot, but otherwise a nice guy who researches alot believes the east/west poles are reversing and will be swapping with the north/south in a relatively (on a planetary scale) short time. (If I recall correctly he described the bermuda triangle as the East pole, and the Devil's Sea off the coast of Japan as the west pole)

The weather there sounds to have been more insane than usual lately. Thanks to the ancestors I live far from the coast and wind and America. Has there been a noticable increase in the number of doomsday prophets yet? If a comet can spawn them surely this can.

Damn, those hurricanes never give up, do they? I wish good luck to anyone who might be living in an area where this hurricane might strike.
