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.

How quickly people forget...
From this link
“...In United States history, only the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 had a lower pressure and higher winds. That monster storm made landfall in the Florida Keys with a central pressure of 892 millibars and estimated sustained winds of 185 mph...”
Is my FR wonky or are you time traveling again?

Thank you Dick!
I among many do not trust the government nor the deep state
Some poo poo this. I believe their evil will use any and all means to achieve their goals
Sorry. When he uses anonymous sources, it’s kookery.
If this person has a scientific hypothesis about weather modification, it should be testable and reproducible. He does not provide any of that. If the research question is “Is weather modification occurring” I want to see his work. There’s nothing.
Ron De Santis’ press conference is great. He is amazing in emergencies.

Is there a silver lining message in the clouds of Milton the Monster?
Florida = swamp = DC
Analog time???
God always has a good reason for everything, just that it can sometimes be a real challenge to consider what that might possibly be.
Lifting all those in harm's way up in prayer. On eagles' wings..

I assume these assclowns will promptly issue a correction to their hyperbolic caterwauling about having to "invent" a new Category?
Yeah, right. And now its a category three. Good luck on that ad click revenue.
Good page to follow track of hurricane.

“If this person has a scientific hypothesis about weather modification, it should be testable and reproducible.”
But your statement is neither testable nor reproducible.
Therefore, according to your own standards we should discount your statement entirely.
TY
Thank you I downloaded the app. Tracking to be a hit just south of downtown Sarasota.
I’m not the one making the claim regarding weather modification - the person at the link is. HE needs to provide the data regarding his hypothesis.
“HE needs to provide the data regarding his hypothesis”
I’m only holding you to the same standard you’re holding him.
Your statement is not made casually or without strength of opinion. But you don’t seem to practice what you preach.
Your statement in the quote above should be testable and reproducible, but you haven’t provided any of this.
