Hurricane Milton supercharges into monster 180mph storm so quickly experts call for it to be given unprecedented Category 6 status: 'This is nothing short of astronomical'

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.

Camille had sustained gusts over 200 mph, It was reported at the time that an anemometer on the coastline in Pass Christian had failed at 205 mph. We were in Pensacola then and saw the results all along the coast: three foot high brick walls blown over!

I’ve seen it as well.
Pretty sure it’s just a good sense of humor in dark times.

A hurricane can’t just be a hurricane anymore—which is plenty bad enough. The one streaking toward the coast must always be the mother-of-all-storms now.

I think Katrina was “only” a Category 3, but it was the floods in the Mississippi River it caused days later after passing over New Orleans that caught the city unawares.

It’s calmed down to 155 now................🙄

Stop that. Don’t listen to him people!…Extreme!…Extreme!…Run for your lives! We must pay carbon taxes and live like bushmen to stop the Extreme! weather.

Next stop: “See, no snow. There will never be snow again”, followed shortly by “Extreme! snowstorm. It’s never snowed like this before!”

I was a little kid then, but I had relatives who lived on the gulf coast and talked about Camille for years after. But like fools, they went on just driving their cars and eating their steaks like nothing had happened, and now we have this. /s

Funny you say this, my part of Florida has had chem trials everyday but maybe 30 days since the first of the year. We did not have our usual 100 degree heat index summer.

We are sitting ducks. See ya on the other side of the Jordan.
