Wilma!!!! Cat 5!

2006YFZ450 · October 19, 2005, 06:18:52 AM

I just looked at the news and they said Wilma was a Cat. 5 with 175mph winds. They say its heading somewhere in south florida. Hope everyone get's out of harms way.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for everyone to print out the "nextel radio rescue numbers" at the top of open discussion. This would be good to have just in case there is cell service after the storm goes through.

From a tropical storm/Cat 1 to Cat 5-OVERNIGHT-

WTF

:K

The only positive I can see from this is work might be cancelled on Saturday but hopefully not any days after that.

That center line goes right over us (on the East Coast)

hopefully it will die down before it hits land, If it comes in south of Naples and goes across the Everglades and farms thats not much to knock it down. It will march across the state in a Fury

Ok, what the heck did Fred say to her last night that's got her all riled up this morning :gh

I'm with you on that one .... Except I don't think it's gonna be that bad by the time it hits here... It may be jsut a bunch of rain.... but then again I think it's going to turn & go towards the Gulf Coast .... ( Wishful thinking I guess ) .... Either way... Good Luck to everyone this weekend - - - we may all need it !

Ok so maybe things aren't lookin soo good.... As of the 11am advisory it looks like it's gonna make landfall mid-day on saturday .... So much for going towards the gulf coast ....

I have better things to do than put up my damn hurricane shutters !

Good luck everyone down south, Naples doesn't look like a good place to be.

Mars, good luck, keep us posted. Thinking about you guys.

mikeE36 · October 19, 2005, 12:13:17 PM

another reason to move............

BCConviber · October 19, 2005, 12:13:39 PM

Hey Kawgirl... Is it me or did that 11:00 advisory track take a tick further to the north? Right over my house now too... dammit man! I am not looking forward to living on a generator again!

kawGIRL · October 19, 2005, 12:23:30 PM

It looks like it, I guess it depends on which weather site you look at

As far as the generator goes we got that 15,000 watt this year

But still need to wire up the plug

I know what Jeff's doing after work

enniehall · October 19, 2005, 12:32:11 PM

Great the morning I decide to sleep in and this is what i wake up to!! This is scary stuff, I live in naples in a house built in the early eighties!! It's a wood frame, I really hope this thing goes back down to a cat 2 or 3 anything else other than a cat 5 would be a blessing. Hunker down everyone cause I don't think we'll be in Kansas anymore.

mikeE36 · October 19, 2005, 12:34:08 PM

the map kind of confuses me. What effect will it have on bradenton. I really have to convence my dad to go with the generator.

Honda250ex · October 19, 2005, 01:08:23 PM

As long as the storm does not affect me im cool, but if your in one, hopfully you can seek help and thats kind of crazy that a storm can do that!!!!!!!!

FORD4X4GIRL · October 19, 2005, 01:20:13 PM

thank god for my generator & my window ac unit ( that was purchased just for hurricanes ) !!!!!

LakeMaryKid · October 19, 2005, 02:25:17 PM

Hmmm dont quite know what to think of this. Lowest in milibar storm, last one in the english alphabet and we still have till november 30th. The season is only predicted to get worse. I high doubt it will go straight north or turn west. The westerlies or the cold front coming through is going to push it east. Hopefully the cold front will hit it and it will knock off some of its power. Myself, i am saying it will hit further north than Naples and go through Orlando. Lord help the victims.

Chuck_Norris · October 19, 2005, 02:28:52 PM

My door is open, I am closer to Georgia.

Asphaltdragon · October 19, 2005, 02:30:15 PM

according to this graphic it look like SoFL will be in for it.

Gonna suck no matter where it hits

what does that graphic mean? did you copy the wrong link?

kawGIRL · October 19, 2005, 03:40:42 PM

If you refresh and watch it ...it will show the hurricane's path as per the wind currents all the way till next thursday the 27th.
Pretty Cool I think

LakeMaryKid · October 19, 2005, 03:50:20 PM

It is still too early to project it pretty assertive path.

Wilma!!!! Cat 5!
