Those unfortunate few who chose to stay in the path of Super Hurricane Wilma, will wreak the full punch of a “Cat Five” Hurricane. One thing we have not seen in this 2005 Hurricane Season is a Hurricane make landfall with the full force of a Hurricane Category Five. Hurricane Wilma is the most powerful and some say beautiful from metrological standpoint ever in the history of Western World Weather Records. The winds at the point of landfall will be in excess of 145 mph and some are calling the Yucatan Peninsula a mere “Speed Bump” for this massive storm and still growing Hurricane Wilma.
Flooding waters are guaranteed indeed, in fact besides the storm surge of 15-20 feet and the 15-20 inches of torrential rains in a 36-hour period will do most of the damage. But make no mistake winds at 145 mph do quite a bit of damage in their own right. How many people will Wilma kill or drown, during her short 36-hour vacation stop over in Cozumel and Cancun. Some estimate that Super Hurricane Wilma with an eye of 35-miles across will take a chunk out of the reality of the Mayan Mexican Rivera. One meteorologist said maybe the Mayan Calendar missed it by a few years maybe it was not 2012 but rather October of 2006? Think on this.
