A couple things worry me about Wilma (other than the fact I live in Florida).  On the three day path projection graph, the cone has a large bulge.  This means the `steering currents' are not that strong.  (Rita did a similar thing when she made landfall).  Until we know where it is headed, it will be difficult to call for evacuations.  These hurricanes have a mind of their own and tend to go where they want.  One trouble with small storms is you can be fine here, and five miles down the road, nothing is left.  If the path is unsure, you need to evacuate everywhere it possibly could strike.

However, on the five day track, it picks up speed and goes rocketing across the state.  This may not be a good thing.  This will carry the high winds further inland and hit structures that are not designed or used to these high winds.  Hurricane Charley did this very thing.  It came ashore a high Cat 3/Low Cat 4, and ripped through the state like a tornado on steroids.  (We were 80 miles down the track and we had winds of 105 mph.  Polk Co. is only required to be designed for 90 mph in the latest building code.)

A fast moving storm also means evacuation times are less.  Wilma seems to be headed towards the Naples area.  The only real northbound evacuation route is I-75.  This is only a four lane facility that clogs up on any given `rush hour' morning.  

It's going to be a long weekend folks.
