The Hurricane taking place is Hurricane Wilma. It wobbled toward Mexico's Cancun resort and Florida this morning, an "extremely dangerous" storm that has already killed 12 people in the Caribbean and was labeled the most intense ever to form in the Americas. It jumped from a Category 1 to a Category 5 rapidly...
In Florida, officials ordered residents and visitors out of the Florida Keys area- it was a mandatory evacuation once again...all too familiar.. Tourists are generally told to leave ahead of others on the chain of islands connected by one highway. Heavy rain from Wilma's outer bands forced evacuations in Honduras, Cuba, Jamaica and Haiti.
At 2 p.m. EDT, the Category 5 hurricane had maximum sustained winds of 165 mph, which is about 265kmh. Forecasters said Wilma should avoid the central Gulf coast ravaged by Katrina and Rita. Those storms killed more than 1,200 people. Wilma is the record-tying 12th hurricane of the Atlantic season, the same number reached in 1969. On Monday, Wilma became the Atlantic hurricane season's 21st named storm, tying the record set in 1933 and exhausting the list of names for this year.
Look at how big the hurricane has formed..heading towards Florida.
Pls pray for this hurricane that it would weaken and would not cause much damage.
