I started doing some research yesterday but got sidetracked. I wanted to look for any storms that had grown to cat 2 within 24 hours of being classified a depression. Wilma and Felix along with many others had already existed for a couple of days so they had more time than Jimena to get it's act together, so to speak. If you happen to find out the former, please post back. And thanks for the update Crystal, thanks for posting that and thanks for the compliment.

Felix in 2007 is the fastest storm to intensify from a tropical Depression to a Category 5 - in only 51 hours. Wilma went from 70mph to 175mph in 24hrs and to 185mph in 30 hrs. http://forums.accuweather.com/index.php?showtopic=3846 Thanks for your insightful commentary!
