And what about the fact that Irma and Harvey have come in 7th and 18th compared to storms of that era, hmmm?

Wait, I thought Irma was the biggest or most powerful ever measured in the Atlantic. Is that not true? There were worse in the ‘30s?

If so, that is a good fact to have handy.

Measuring by landfall air pressure Irma is tied for 7th. Measuring by landfall wind speed Irma is tied for 14th.

Serious storm but far far from unprecedented.
