An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:
Gathering strength at a fierce pace, Hurricane Wilma grew into a Category 5 monster storm early Wednesday with 175 mph winds. Forecasters warned the storm was “extremely dangerous” and said a key reading of its pressure was the lowest ever recorded in the Atlantic basin.
Wilma was dumping rain on Central America and Mexico, and forecasters warned of a “significant threat” to Florida by the weekend.
“All interests in the Florida Keys and the Florida peninsula should closely monitor the progress of extremely dangerous Hurricane Wilma,” the National Hurricane Center in Miami said in its latest advisory.
