"Willllmmmaaaaa!"

Here she comes. Another TS tops the hurricane charts at CAT 5! With sustained winds of over 175 MPH, Wilma pounds Hondurus, Mexico, the mountain regions of Cuba and threatens Jamaica and Florida.

My Way News has the story here.

The close-up:

Hurricane Wilma brought heavy rains to Central America and Mexico on Wednesday as it swirled into the most intense Atlantic storm ever recorded, a Category 5 monster packing 175 mph winds that forecasters warned was "extremely dangerous."

Wilma spent most of its force at sea on the western Caribbean on Wednesday. Computer models showed Wilma possibly making a sharp turn as it hits upper-level winds blowing east, moving through the narrow channel between Cuba and Mexico, where it threatened Cancun, before bearing down on Florida over the weekend.

"All interests in the Florida Keys and the Florida peninsula should closely monitor the progress of extremely dangerous Hurricane Wilma," the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

At 8 a.m., the hurricane was centered about 340 miles southeast of Cozumel, Mexico, with maximum sustained wind was 175 mph, forecasters said.

It was expected to dump up to 25 inches of rain in mountainous areas of Cuba through Friday, and up to 15 inches in the Caymans and Jamaica through Thursday. A foot of rain was possible from Honduras through the Yucatan peninsula, the weather service said.

On Wednesday, Wilma's heavy rains soaked Central America and Mexico - parts of which were still recovering from the brunt of Hurricane Stan - and satellite photos showed the storm's arms covering much of Cuba.

In Mexico, the MTV Latin America Video Music Awards ceremony, originally scheduled for Thursday at a seaside park south of Cancun, was postponed.

A hurricane watch was in effect for the east coast of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, parts of Cuba and the Cayman Islands, and the National Hurricane Center warned of a "significant threat" to Florida.

Forecasters predicted Wilma would make landfall in southwestern Florida and could bring devastating winds to the east coast. Officials ordered visitors out of the Florida Keys.

Wilma's confirmed pressure readings Wednesday morning dropped to 882 millibars - the lowest minimum pressure ever measured in a hurricane in the Atlantic basin, according to the hurricane center. Lower pressure translates into higher wind speed.

Forecasters said Wilma was stronger than the devastating Labor Day hurricane that hit the Florida Keys in 1935, the strongest Atlantic hurricane to make landfall on record.

Pay attention, pray and get out of her way! If you're still hanging around the Florida Keys, the authorities have already ordered you out! Get going!

I can't remember a year when so many strong Hurricanes hit in succession. Katrina, Rita, Stan and now Wilma have all hit CAT 5 on their way in-land! Isn't it november yet? Isn't the hurricane season almost over?
