Oh No - Hurricane Wilma has record barometric pressure
Hurricane Wilma today jumped from a Category 2 to a dangerous Category 5 storm, with the lowest-recorded barometric pressure of any Atlantic basin hurricane, the National Hurricane Center said.
Lower pressure is one indicator of a more intense hurricane.
The storm - now located in the western Caribbean - was forecast to make landfall somewhere in southwestern Florida as soon as the weekend.

Lower pressure is an indicator of higher wind speed. (They are inversely proportional)
