Historically you would be correct, however South Florida comes with a variable that throws a monkey wrench in that theory.
Wilma's strength when coming on shore from the west coast *should not diminish by the time it hits those of us on the east coast. Reason being, after it passes over west coast it will then be churning up over the Everglades. The water in the Everglades is warmer than either the Gulf or the Atlantic ocean.
So if she comes on shore from the west side as a cat 4, plan on it hitting the east side with cat 4 force as well.
