Looks like Wilma is determined to outdo her sisters Katrina and Rita. Just when you think this hurricane season can't pull any more surprises, it does.
But you know what worries me even more? I wonder what next year is going to be like.

THIS IS THE LOWEST PRESSURE OBSERVED IN 2005 AND IS EQUIVALENT TO THE MINIMUM PRESSURE OF THE 1935 LABOR DAY HURRICANE IN THE FLORIDA KEYS. The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 is the #1 most intense hurricane on the NHC List.
If Wilma's pressure drops any more, it will take the record.
