WILMA'S THREAT TO FLORIDA'S TREASURE COAST

Accuweather.com forecasters are calling Hurricane Wilma a dangerous Category 5 storm, with winds packing 175 mph.

Wilma is expected to lose strength, falling to a Category 3 storm before making landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast on the weekend. It is expected to pack the same power Katrina had when it slammed into the U.S. in August, killing more than 1,200 people.

Wilma's path will likely threaten Treasure Coast areas that were devastated by Hurricane Charley. The Category 4 storm was the first of the six hurricanes that have struck Florida since August 2004.

Supermarkets and building supply stores in the Sunshine State are stocked with extra food, water, ice and other supplies in anticipation of a rush by residents. Florida's Department of Emergency Management reminds Floridians living in the Keys and the peninsula to make sure that their family disaster preparedness plans are completed during the next few days.

hey wow, Accuweather is calling Wilma a Cat 5 with winds of 175mph? Man that's big of them, considering the NHC did all of that dirty work for them.

Good job, accuweather!

yeah the treasure coast was hit and badly damaged in places.... but I'd say the devestation from Charley was on the Gulf Coast.... don't understand why they would make the treasure coast the focus of the article when greatest impact would be to west/southwest coast fl if it does hit there.
