884mb, lowest pressure ever in the Atlantic
By now you have heard that Wilma is a cat 5. Winds as of 5am were 175mph and the lowest, unverified, pressure of 884mb in the Atlantic. This is lower than the 888mb record of Gilbet in 1988.
In 12 hours the pressure has dropped 86mb. This is a very rare event to have a system drop in pressure this fast and I can not believe this happened in mid-October as opposed to September or even August.
With Wilma moving WNW now the chances of it making landfall in Hondorus isnow minimal and Florida seems to be very probable.
