Definately, well done everyone :) I've learned a lot from Wilma, and I've learned a lot from you guys. :) :)

I don't think this is quite yet ended though - the one last job here in my opinion is to track and forcast the remnants for the possibility of UK landfall.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I second all that and the posts above - definately has been a very interesting experience, and I have learnt a wee bit from you all. Well done everyone. Keep it all up, and yes I do wonder what will be the effects for the uk, if any.

Here is the forecast which i made a week ago...

"I expect Tropical Depression 24 to become Hurricane Wilma on tuesday, and turn later than the national hurricane center is predicting, this is the worst case senario as it will go through the Yucatan Straights, not loosing strength over land, i expect a weak category 5 to make landfall in Florida in one week on monday, at its peak, i expect a central pressure of 885mb and sustained windspeeds of 192mph."

Looks like i was close to the mark, i predicted the exact track, was only 4mb away from the pressure and sustained windspeeds at one point were 185mph.

I categorise this as a successful forecast.

Just to add my thanks to everyone. :)

To say it's been fun is an understatement, but it's not the destruction, it's the learning that's so good!

With modern technology, embraced by individuals so willing to contribute to an online community, it's fair to say Net-weather is going a long way.

(I ask again: why don't they get a tv channel going? )

Big up yerselves everyone

Since we ar ehaving abit of a reflection moment I'd just like to add what a pleasure having so much debate on here,and ALL good natured as well,I can't remember one arguement all season,very impressive.I think all of us have learned this season,I certainly have and hopefully many others have learnt as well,esp from the big three this season.

Still we are coming towards the end of the most active seasons,we may get 1-2 more systems out of the season yet but to all extents the major actvity is over....

Oh well,see you all next year here then???

Agreed KW, I'm still learning the mechanics of Hurricanes and storms in general.

Each time a storm forms, I learn more and more about these monsters.

Thanks all.

I think it is really that forward motion that is now helping Wilma to keep that hurricane status, take off 53mph from 85mph winds in the SE quadrant and the winds within the system if stationary would be 32mph. Watch the winds drop a heck of a lot once she loses that forward momentum. Interesting to note, she is moving forward as a whole at a speed which is in itself a TS windspeed...39-74mph.

As for highest forward motion of a hurricane......I havent a clue <_<

Will try and find out in records through the day <_<

Only the one picture so far from my favourite storm chaser - Mike Theiss - but an impressive one all the same. Can't wait for him to update the site with all his footage etc

Well I can't believe the way I found this out or if it is correct - I text the question from my phone to 63336 and he answer came back as .....

The fastest moving hurricane was the 'Long Island Express' in 1938 which moved from North Carolina to New England in 6 hours at top speeds of 70mph

I would say it is probably historically correct djm <_<

Almost at hurricane speed in itself! Only 4mph off it

there is a storm heading towards us with a pressure centre lower than that of wilma when she was still a category 2! :D and by the looks of things, ex wilma will be with us in about a week as well. We're just about to see our end of october storm season.

oh and there are presently 3 trpcl waves heading in, keep watching i don't think this season's over yet. :D
