quote:IT JUST GOT WORSE- PERHAPS THE WORST IN RECORDED HISTORY
If you read my commentary last night, you saw where I said that I did not think this hurricane season could get any worse. Well, it certainly did just that. Wilma is now a category five- the THIRD of this hurricane season. The NHC reports that the air pressure is down to 884 millibars- which would be the lowest air pressure ever measured in an Atlantic hurricane. This would surpass monster hurricane Gilbert in 1988 which had an air pressure of 888 millibars. While all of this is simply extraordinary, it does not mean Wilma will be a category five at landfall. In fact, Wilma should weaken considerably from where it is now as it turns the corner out of the Caribbean and in to the Gulf of Mexico. The official forecast calls for Wilma to make landfall near Naples, FL as a possible category three hurricane. Preparations should resume today as time is going to run out before people know it. Keep in mind too that ALL OF SOUTH FLORIDA could be at risk for hurricane force winds as Wilma races through. The right-front quadrant in this case will be the southeast quadrant- and all of south Florida would likely be in the southeast quadrant. Later this evening, my colleague Mike Watkins will upload a great video presentation explaining a lot about Wilma and the projected forecast track. This video will be online around 7pm ET. I am about to leave for Naples, FL and will be working with the Collier Co. Emergency Management folks. I will post updates as often as possible here and will broadcast the mission LIVE at our new subscriber site, HurricaneLiveNet.com. My next update will be near 11am ET

Volgens mij betreft El-Nino alleen het warmere zeewater in de Pacific ter hoogte van Peru. En die zorgt voor een verschuiving in de straalstroom (dus toegenomen windschering) waardoor de orkanen uit elkaar geblazen worden als het ware.quote:Op woensdag 19 oktober 2005 15:00 schreef Stratos het volgende:

WILMA THE MOST INTENSE HURRICANE ON RECORD- FORECAST LOOKS VERY BAD
You have no doubt heard the news. Wilma is a powerful category five hurricane with an air pressure lower than ever before measured in an Atlantic hurricane. The NHC is forecasting Wilma to remain a category five for about another 24 hours or so and then it should weaken once over the cooler waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This, combined with stronger upper level winds should weaken Wilma down to a category three for landfall- we can only hope.
Right now preparations should be well under way. People in Florida know the routine- but this hurricane is not routine (it is for this season). I will say it again, time is on your side now- but the window will close quickly once Wilma makes the turn and heads east. Conditions will deteriorate rapidly as the hurricane speeds up and heads towards Florida. Remember- this will be a hurricane that affects people all across south Florida. Initial landfall will be along the SW coast, but people in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach and surrounding areas will have to deal with this hurricane. Put your plans in to action now and be ready. For great local information, check out the NWS website for your area- the link is below.
I am currently in South Carolina heading towards Florida. I will be in Port Charlotte tonight and Naples tomorrow. I will be working with two other crew members to provide the best reports on conditions and meteorological data that we can. All along the mission, I will post updates and eventually video reports from the affected areas. Stay tuned- it looks like Wilma will close out the season with quite an exclamation point. More here around 5pm ET
quote:If the current track holds, Wilma could be "Irene on steroids," said Tony Carper, Broward County's emergency management director, referring to Hurricane Irene, which in October 1999 left widespread flooding in South Florida.
"I don't think there's going to be quite as much rain as there was with Irene, but the winds are going to be stronger," he said. "It's almost the same track as Irene."
Afwachten en zien of die scherpe bocht richting Florida er komt.quote:The projected path could change, but computer-forecast models are in general agreement that South Florida is in for a rough weekend. The reason: A cold front, descending southeast across the country, is expected to force Wilma to make that sharp right turn.
If the turn is delayed and Wilma hits farther north, South Florida's weather would be less severe. A more remote possibility: The turn could be made soon enough to keep the system south of the state.

Hurricane center: Deadly Wilma eyeing Florida
Category 5 storm prompts Keys evacuation
Jim Cox measures plywood to cover the windows of his realty business Wednesday in Islamorada, Florida.
Wednesday, October 19, 2005; Posted: 5:37 p.m. EDT (21:37 GMT)
MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- If Hurricane Wilma hits Florida this weekend as predicted, it could result in many deaths and a tremendous storm surge, the nation's chief hurricane forecaster said Wednesday.
Officials ordered nonresidents in the Florida Keys to evacuate in advance of the storm -- which as of 5 p.m. ET was a dangerous Category 5 hurricane off Mexico.
"We had well over a thousand lives lost in Katrina," said Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
"If Wilma comes into the Florida coast as a Category 3 or 4 hurricane, that potential for large loss of life is with us here with this hurricane."
Forecasters said the storm -- with 160 mph (260 kph) sustained winds -- registered the lowest-recorded barometric pressure of any Atlantic basin hurricane -- an indication of its intensity. (Watch Mayfield's warning about Hurricane Wilma -- 3:19)
The hurricane center reported Wilma's barometric pressure Wednesday at 882 millibars -- below the 1988 record of 888 millibars set by Hurricane Gilbert. Storms with low barometric pressure are typically more intense.
A hurricane warning was in effect from San Felipe to Tulum on the Yucatan Peninsula, including Cozumel, the hurricane center said.
The head of Haiti's civil protection agency, Maria Alta Jean-Baptiste, told The Associated Press the storm's outer bands caused flooding and landslides that killed at least 11 people since Monday and forced at least 2,000 families from their homes.
"The situation is not catastrophic, but if the rains pick up, it could become very difficult for some people," Jean-Baptiste told AP.
As a tropical depression, Wilma already had been blamed for one death in Jamaica on Sunday, AP reported.
Forecasters said southwest Florida could start feeling the effects of Wilma on Saturday.
"I will assure you that if this one makes landfall on the Gulf Coast of Florida, there will be a tremendous storm surge," Mayfield said.
"And if it's a Category 4, we could easily have 15 to 20 feet near and south of where the center crosses the coast with up to even 25 feet up into the bays and the rivers."
Floridians stock up
Projections for Wilma's path suggest the storm may skirt the western tip of Cuba on Friday, possibly as a Category 4 storm with winds of greater than 130 mph, before curving eastward and heading toward the southwestern Florida coast.
In his 5 p.m. update, Mayfield emphasized the uncertainty in Wilma's long-term forecast, saying computer models had become more divergent over the course of the day.
In southwest Florida, residents stocked up on supplies. "I think since Katrina, everyone is more apprehensive about the situation as far as hurricanes go," Pat Schmidt, 74, told the AP while shopping at a Port Charlotte store.
Andrea Yerger, 48, of Port Charlotte, was buying material to protect her house in advance of Wilma. "People have learned their lesson and know better how to prepare," she told AP. "We're not waiting till the last minute anymore." (Full story)
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Wednesday the state will order evacuations in the coming days and has already begun to pre-stage relief supplies, such as ice and water.
Monroe County officials Wednesday ordered tourists to leave the Florida Keys beginning at noon, closed state parks and lifted the toll on the bridge that connects the Keys with mainland Florida.
Wilma strengthened on Wednesday within a matter of a few hours -- at 1 a.m. ET, the hurricane center reported the storm had 150 mph winds, taking it from a Category 2 to a Category 4. Just 90 minutes later, the center reported Wilma had maximum sustained winds of 175 mph and higher gusts.
As of 5 p.m. ET, the center of the storm was about 285 miles southeast of Cozumel, Mexico. It was wobbling generally toward the west-northwest at nearly 7 mph and is expected to turn to the northwest during the next 24 hours, the hurricane center said.
Hurricane-force winds extended outward about 60 miles from the eye, and tropical-storm-force winds stretched up to 230 miles from the center.
Wilma is the third Category 5 storm this year, preceded by Hurricane Katrina, which killed a confirmed 1,250 people when it slammed into Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama as a Category 4 storm on August 29, and Hurricane Rita, which hit Louisiana and Texas on September 24 as a Category 3. Nine deaths have been blamed on Rita.
Cuban hurricane watch
Cuba has issued a hurricane watch for the provinces of Matanzas westward through Pinar del Rio and for the Isle of Youth, according to the hurricane center.
A hurricane watch means hurricane conditions, including winds of at least 74 mph, are possible within 36 hours. (Caribbean braces)
Cuban authorities have already evacuated residents in the eastern part of the country after the outer bands of Wilma dumped heavy rain as it passed south of the island.
The hurricane center said Cuba could get anywhere from 10 to 15 inches of rain from Wilma, with some areas getting socked with as much as 25 inches.
A stretch of the Honduran coast is under a tropical storm warning from the Nicaraguan border to Cabo Camaron -- as is Belize from the Mexican border to Belize City.
Additional rainfall accumulations of up to 10 inches, with up to 15 inches possible in some areas, are possible across the Cayman Islands and Jamaica through Thursday.
Pentagon prepares
Pentagon officials said Wednesday the Navy has placed three ships on standby to be called to duty if Wilma makes landfall in the United States.
In addition, officials said, Homestead Air Reserve Base, south of Miami, has been designated as a mobilization center for aid and equipment to be collected and distributed to the affected areas.
A defense coordination officer has been dispatched by the Pentagon to Tallahassee, the state capital, to work with state officials on coordination with the military if Wilma hits Florida.
The officials said the storm was still too far out to make any immediate plans or to evacuate bases. The closest military base to the storm, as of Wednesday, is Naval Air Station Key West, which has not yet been ordered to evacuate.

Mogelijk 250.000 Cubanen geëvacueerd voor komst Wilma
Uitgegeven: 19 oktober 2005 22:16
Laatst gewijzigd: 19 oktober 2005 23:51
HAVANA - Cuba bereidt de evacuatie voor van mogelijk meer dan 250.000 mensen uit de gebieden die worden bedreigd door de zeer gevaarlijke orkaan Wilma. Dat meldden de autoriteiten woensdag. Eerder waren op het Caribische eiland al ongeveer 9000 mensen in veiligheid gebracht.
Orkaan Wilma
De orkaan heeft geleid tot zware overstromingen in het oosten van Cuba, en bedreigt nu de westkust en het gebied rond de hoofdstad Havana met zware slagregens. Volgens de meteorlogische dienst op het communistische eiland is het niet waarschijnlijk dat de orkaan, die op volle zee windstoten van boven de 300 kilometer per uur veroorzaakt, het vasteland van Cuba zal raken.
Mexico
De Mexicaanse autoriteiten hebben woensdag opdracht gegeven voor de evacuatie van circa 33.000 toeristen uit Cancun, de eilanden Isla Mujeres en Holbox, en Punta Allen.
Alle hotelgasten in de betreffende plaatsen is verzocht huiswaarts te keren. De zware orkaan Wilma trekt naar verwachting de komende 24 uur tussen het Mexicaanse schiereiland Yucatan en Cuba door.

...WILMA WEAKENS SLIGHTLY...
quote:UPDATED: 10:50 PM EDT, October 19, 2005
HURRICANE WILMA NOW "BACK" TO CAT-4 BUT FORECAST TO REGAIN CAT-5 INTENSITY
The NHC shows that Wilma is now around 155 mph- a category four hurricane- just barely. While this is good news, it is forecast to regain intensity and become a category five again tomorrow. This means that people along the Yucatan Peninsula need to be ready in case the extremely dangerous core of Wilma makes landfall there. Appropriate warnings have been posted for Mexico. As for Florida, the forecast has not changed much- Wilma is expected to make landfall perhaps on Sunday and then race off in to the Atlantic. There are some indications that Wilma could affect New England- but the NHC does not idicate this on their 11pm advisory. The slower overall motion of Wilma buys the people of south Florida more time- but I hope people do not relax and think the danger is less- it is still very real and Wilma needs to be taken seriously.
I am in Orlando, FL tonight and will head south from here tomorrow. I am working with James Lewis and Mike Watkins on this mission and plan to have multiple updates throughout the mission from where Wilma makes landfall. I will have continuing coverage here tomorrow morning with much more throughout the day tomorrow.

The new clam is that we are "only seeing imaging anomalies" -- created by the computer imaging process which creates these MIMIC imaging products themselves.
To which I have an obvious question:
If this is truly the case -- if we are seeing in these striking geometric patterns only "computer glitches" in the data -- why was this crucial "technical disclaimer" ONLY added to the MIMIC site AFTER we called attention here to the striking "geometric signatures" appearing on certain hurricane images within the archive!?
