Wilma's top sustained winds were measured early Wednesday at 175 mph, the
same as Rita and Katrina when they were at sea and 105 mph faster than the
wind speed measured 24 hours before when it was a tropical storm. That wind
speed increase is the fastest ever recorded, hurricane meteorologist Hugh
Cobb said.

Wilma dropped from 982 millibars to 882 millibars in 24 hours, or a rate of
4.2 millibars an hour. Gilbert dropped at 3 millibars an hour over 24 hours.
Wilma also fell 9.7 millibars an hour over six hours early Wednesday,
beating Hurricane Beulah's drop of 6.3 millibars an hour in six hours in
1967.

The lowest pressure ever recorded in a tropical cyclone was 870 millibars in
Typhoon Tip in the northwest Pacific Ocean in 1979.
