Damage by Hurricaine Wilma














Hurricane Wilma was the twenty-first named storm, twelfth hurricane, and sixth major hurricane of the record-breaking 2005 Atlantic hurricane season.

Wilma set numerous records for both strength and seasonal activity. At its peak, it was the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Atlantic basin (sustained winds of 280 Km/hr). It was the third Category 5 hurricane of the season, the only time this has happened in the Atlantic, and only the third Category 5 to develop in October. Wilma was the second 21st storm in any season, and the earliest-forming 21st storm by nearly a month.

Wilma made several landfalls, with the most destructive effects felt in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Cuba, and the U.S. state of Florida.
