Hurricane Wilma to be …

[wxman]

I am making plans to fly to Orlando on Friday - but I will wait to see what happens once Wilma get cought up in the Westerly winds that will stear her towards Florida - over all the winds flowwing across the hurricane could well rip her apart - we shall see.

Wilma has now reached CAT2 status - models now prog that Wilma may reach CAT4 within 24 hours - landfall now looks like Naples, Florda before crossing the everglades (which will not kill the storm) Residents on the East coast (Miami) need to think about moving out now - go North west towards tampa.

BTW the scruddy remians of Wilma look to cross the UK around the 28th October as an intence depression.

wxman, how many Hurricanes/Tropical Storms/Typhoons occur every year and has there been any significant increase in their number in the past 150 years? Please can you quote references in your answer.

Would it help if the yanks stopped taking building tips from the 'Fist Two Little Pigs Building Co Inc' Make you house out of twigs and it's going to get blown down, in much the same way that trailers tend to disappear in Tornado alley (and given its name would you really want to live there?)

is this the best time?

Guess who flies to Florida tomorrow morning........

I'm there for three weeks - orlando, clearwater, naples and key west - do you think I should pack a kagoul? Or a cardigan?

Key West may be in Arkansas by the time I get there.

A boat.

Tough break man...

Anyone who is South of Orlando should move north! - this IS the most intense Hurricane ever on record - stronger than Andrew or Katrina.

Meanwhile I will be flying towards Florida on Friday and I plan to set up in Naples which is where the eye should pass over. (Watch for my footage on the UK TV over the weekend)
