Wilma is already a Cat 5 storm with a pressure of 884 millibars, the lowest minimum pressure ever recorded in a hurricane in the Atlantic basin. What that means is, the lower the pressure, the higher wind speed.

I live on the coast of Texas and we have been watching Wilma extra closely. I am thinking of all of you in Florida and keeping my fingers crossed it will decrease to a lower category before it hits the coast like Rita did here in Texas. We were bracing for a 5 and it wound up being a 3 in a very short time. Good luck to all of you who live there and be safe!!!!!!

Well this will be our last hurricane seson. We are done with hurricanes and are planning on moving back to Tennessee shortly. We have still never emotionally recovered from Charlie last year. We're just done and can't handle it no more.

We just want to pray for everyone in Wilma's path. And please remember we all learned from Charlie they can change directions at the last moment and hit unexpecting people.

Everyone please be safe and check in when you can. Get all your preparations done, we are ready. Now is the hardest part just waiting for her to hit.

They are predicting that it will start loosing it's strength and fall to a 2 before it gets close to FL. I certainly hope so. They've seen enough hurricanes in recent years.

How is everyone down in Florida? I figure part of you may not have power so won't see this, but when you get power back we would all like to know you are ok!

Just talked to mom & dad on the cell phone. Wilma came on land south of Naples so mom & dad are getting wind gusts around 50-70 mph. Dad is mad cause the Ponsietta (sp ?) tree got "trimmed" again. But atleast there has been no damage to the house. Their dogs on the other hand are going crazy cause the girls want to go outside to chase stuff that is blowing around.
