With Hurricane Milton hitting winds of up to 180 miles per hour and at such a high speed, scientists are wondering if the storm defies the five category system and should go up to a Category 6.
Florida’s Gulf Coast braced on Tuesday for the impact of Hurricane Milton’s near-record winds and expected massive storm surge, which could bring destruction to areas already reeling from Helene’s devastation 12 days ago and still recovering from Ian’s wrath two years ago.
Almost the entirety of Florida’s west coast was under a hurricane warning early on Tuesday as the Category 5 storm and its 165mph winds crept toward the state at 9mph, sucking energy from the Gulf of Mexico’s warm water.
The strongest Atlantic hurricane on record is 1980’s Allen, which reached wind speeds of 190 mph as it moved through the Caribbean and Gulf before striking Texas and Mexico.
The storm, which CNN called 'the strongest on Earth in 2024,' was described by an Orlando meteorologist as 'nothing short of astronomical.'
'I am at a loss for words to meteorlogically describe you the storms small eye and intensity,' Noah Bergen said.

I’m one of those who does not have a mental firewall against that possibility. Far too many “impossible” things that will never happen keep happening.
and strongest ever contrary to this article but like all storms it gets reevaluated constantly
I was in it eight miles north of Pass Christian Miss
Camille was tight and she moved fast
Changed how Miss coast folks reacted ever since to hurricanes
Many who stayed died
Is hurricane Milton from planet Earth?
I dont want to say it’s good news because other than Sandy, I will probably never see anything remotely like it in my lifetime.
But it’s less bad news for those folks :(
We’re all donating up north (well, the people I know) and at least the Staten Islanders of NYC are praying for all of them!
For any in its wake, prayers out!
Emd of Days. Signs and Wonders. Maranatha.
Storm is weakening somewhat, winds down to 145 mph.
Please, God, have mercy.
Check satellite images, it’s there. Radar has a limited range. Don’t know where the WC radar is located, but its base range is around 140-150 miles. Milton isn’t even close to being range.
Evacuating because of an oncoming hurricane.....
and having a traffic accident. Oh dear.
The white circles are vehicle crashes.

If it weakens the storm surge will be worse. Ryan Hall Y’all said that.
The technology for causing super storms like this has to do with raising the energy in dispersed particles.
Check it out, they are fudging on the true path. The model shows it heading more north east than the actual eye is. The eye is heading due east towards Cuba. the wind model shows the true eye direction from the last point.

And your point is?
A patent does not prove that it works.
Show the data that it works. Research, anything.
And the citation for this is….?
Lol, now they had to adjust it back south because it was too obvious. Yep, due east towards Cuba as a true path.

Wouldn’t it expect to go down in speed as it hits landfall?
Sure it will slow down as it dumps all that energy against the coastline and as far inland as it will reach. It will slow down from the Cat 5 or 4 down to maybe a Category 2. That’s where all the damage will come from and the storm surge and everything that comes with it.
““Category 6” is sensationally stupid. Spinal tap would dial it up to a “Category 11”. Now that would impress me!”
Also, they need to give it a scary name like Hurricane Frankenstein or Hurricane Godzilla. But Milton? Serious?
HAARP
Ya don't say?

Fair warning, if reality creeps you out, don't go here either...
