Hurricane Wilma went from a tropical storm to the most powerful Atlantic hurricane on record in just 24 hours.
She's expected to weaken somewhat, though, before making landfall, probably in Florida.
U.S. Air Force reconnaissance planes measured Wilma's top sustained wind at 175 mph, making it a Category 5 storm, the Hurricane Center said.
"It does look like it poses a significant threat to Florida by the weekend. Of course, these are four- and five-day forecasts, so things can change," meteorologist Dan Brown said.
Let's hope things do change.
