When you think of October and November, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind are the leaves changing color and falling on your lawn. Or maybe those first few cold fronts of the season bringing cooler, drier air to the country?
Certainly these things do not make you think of tropical weather, but that doesn't mean you should let your guard down during the final third of the hurricane season.
After causing severe damage on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Wilma made landfall just south of Naples, Fla. as a large Cat. 3 hurricane. Even though it weakened to a Cat. 2 while crossing the peninsula, it produced widespread wind damage in S. Fla. Wilma is also known for its extreme intensity as a Cat. 5 in the northwest Caribbean
