Wow she is looking awesome. 115 mph? Gezzz. She won't die will she. Is she suppost to effect any other land masses?

Well she is long gone and left some nice cool air in her place here. Sun is back out but still pretty breezy. Absoultley wonderful weather!

The MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS are just that the MAXIMUM winds found within that particular storm. If the storm is stationary then those winds were found within a stationary storm, if the storm is moving then those winds measured were in a storm that IS MOVING, so that MOVEMENT is included in the wind speed.

I am beside myself that there were several METS on air that misrepresented this last night.

This is precisely why the winds were lighter on the north side of WIlma

TWC mentioning the possibility of a "perfect storm". Right now it seems possible, low near the Ohio Valley, surface low near Cape Hatteras, Wilma, and remnants of Alpha should cause a doozy. If it slows down then New England could really be in for something.

I just got my power back in south Broward county! This is really amazing just hours after Wilma lashes my area I get power back. My entire swimming pool screen enclosure is destroyed and the winds howling outside were just some of the scariest winds I have heard since Andrew. I live in Miramar/Pembroke Pines and was able to measure the winds outside with an instrument I pretty much had to superglue to the roof of my house. For some time the max sustained winds were near 75mph with wind gusts nearing 99-100mph. It was insane no doubt. Glad to be back

Wow! Glad to hear you guys are okay. I still can't get ahold of my relatives in Ft. Lauderdale so I'm sure they are still without power.

I kept hearing people say that we are going to beat the 110 page record for Katrina. Well we more than doubled it. Not sure if Katrina was the record, if it was than we blew it away. The way folks were talking though I think it was. I am sure someone a little more knowledgable will answer. :wink:

This is probably the most controversial topic that pops up every hurricane season.
