Hurricane Wilma became the fiercest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded as it churned towards western Cuba and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula on Wednesday, threatening densely populated Florida after killing 10 people in Haiti.
The season's record-tying 21st storm, fuelled by the warm waters of the northwest Caribbean Sea, strengthened with unprecedented speed into a Category 5 hurricane, the top rank on the five-step scale of hurricane intensity. It is expected to slice across the lower portion of Florida this week-end.
Does anyone else find this amazing? Enough already with the hurricanes. There have been so many hit land this year. So many people have lost their lives, loved ones, and homes. We get it Mother Nature; you're one tough cookie. Now, could you back off?
