"110 mph, and the forecast track has it as a Cat 4 in 24 hours."

That ramp-up is unreal.

Wilma is bringing Bam-Bam!

Not as unreal as Rita's. Rita went from tropical storm to Cat 4 in just under 24 hours, and to Cat 5 twelve hours after that.

FWIW, the Weather Channel is saying that the hurricane hunter report they just got has the pressure down to 901, so it is still rapidly intensifying. Thankfully the waters are cooler north from Cuba, and there is talk of an eyewall replacement cycle tomorrow, so it should diminish in strength before US landfall.
