Hurricane Wilma News Coverage
Monday October 24, 2005
Hurricane Wilma swept across Florida on Monday, killing six people and leaving 6 million without power. The six new deaths in Florida brought the hurricane's death toll to 25.
Hurricane Wilma was classified as a Category 3 hurricane when it made landfall in Florida early Monday, with winds up to 125 mph. The storm weakened to a Category 2 hurricane as it moved across Florida, and wind speed dropped to 105 mph, still a very dangerous storm with the power to damage many homes and businesses.
By early afternoon, Wilma had left Florida and moved out to sea over the Atlantic, where it gathered new strength and again became a Category 3 hurricane. Fortunately, it's current path seems to be taking it farther out to sea, so expert observers don't expect it to threaten other parts of the U.S.
