I found this to be of interest:

Final report on Wilma: It was weaker than first thought when it hit S. Fla.
MIAMI -- Hurricane Wilma hit densely populated South Florida at Category 2 strength, and it was stronger than originally estimated when it struck Mexico, the National Hurricane Center said in its final report on the storm Tuesday.

Most locations in the inhabited areas of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties felt at least Category 1 winds of 74-95 mph when Wilma struck on Oct. 24, the report said. But some of those areas had top sustained winds of 100 mph or slightly higher, in the Category 2 range of 96-110 mph.


I definitely experienced CAT 2 winds in my area. Kind of makes me reconsider if I really will stay for CAT 3 now, since that was a rough CAT 2.

Check out the damage pics in the Photo Gallery
