Willma went from a tropical depression to the most powerful hurricane ever in two days.

Hurricane Wilma quickly gathered strength Wednesday, turning into the most intense Atlantic storm ever recorded and a "potentially catastrophic" Category 5 hurricane barreling towards the Florida coast over the next few days, the National Hurricane Center said early Wednesday.

"All interests in the Florida Keys and the Florida peninsula should closely monitor the progress of extremely dangerous Hurricane Wilma," the National Hurricane Center in Miami warned in an 8 a.m. EDT advisory.

The center said Wilma set a record for hurricane intensity in the Atlantic, as the minimum atmospheric pressure of the monster storm dropped to 882 millibars.

Of course it couldn't be global warming could it?
