You may have to get used to see it a few more times in the next few years.

Just part of life along the coast. I'm sure we'll all see many more.

Boca what do you mean? If you are talking about the impact in South Florida, Wilma and Andrew were much different. Andrew was far more powerful than Wilma.

But Andrew was a small system, much smaller than Wilma.

Very true indeed. Andrew was quite small as hurricanes/TCs go. It is like Hurricane Juan up here in 2003. 50 miles from the center there was no damage. Other than Central Nova Scotia the Maritimes were spared. If that same system however had been of average size, or worse yet larger than average, but still just as intense at landfall (cat 2.) things would no doubt have been much different, and much worse in both cases. That is why I think size + speed of travel, and more exactly duration of hurricane force conditions in any given area, should be taken into account when ranking these storms. In other words a large cat 2, can cause just as much damage as a small cat 3, or even a weak cat. 4 (if very small indeed), only spread out over a larger area, although not as severe in any given small area.

I've never seen that before and its really quite a decent looking small storm, in terms of outflow, the only storm i've seen with outflow as good was Ivan when it was a cat-5.
