NASA's hurricane site has posted some novel maps and graphics of Wilma, including some 3-D and animated illustrations of the “hot towers.”



“The arrival of Hurricane Wilma on October 15, 2005, tied the record for
most named storms in a single Atlantic hurricane season. Within just
days Wilma went from tropical storm to Category 5 hurricane status and
broke the record for lowest pressure ever recorded inside a hurricane.
New satellite observations show towering thunderclouds, sometimes
called hot towers, that signaled the onset of intensification in this
remarkable storm.“
