New Records just out of my head

#1 Postby HURAKAN » Wed Oct 19, 2005 3:00 am

Most intense 2005 hurricane

For the first time one season in the Atlantic sees 3 category 5 hurricanes

For the first time one season in the Atlantic sees 2 hurricanes with pressures below 900.

For the first time one season in the Atlantic sees 5 hurricanes with pressures at 930 mb or below.

Ties the Labor Day hurricane for the 2nd most intense in history based on pressure.

AND MORE THAT I CAN'T JUST REMEMBER AT 4 AM!

Don't forget 6 majors in a season - tying the record set last year. (and tying the record for 12 hurricanes, and tying the record for 21 tropical storms)

And there's that obscene pressure drop, of course. 44mb in 2 hours!

I don't why I woke up at 3 AM, so I decided to see the 2 AM advisory. After that, I can't close my eyes because I just think about this crazy monster.

The record for major hurricanes was set in 1961, and it was 7. So far we have not reached that amount, maybe if Stan would have stayed for 12 more hours over water it would have reached major status and we would now tie the record, but it didn't occur.

I think we may see Emily be upgraded to Cat. 5 at the end of the season, then the record of 3 cat. 5 in a season will also be broken!

If that's true, then

Emily
Katrina
Rita
Wilma

All 5's

Either the peak intensities of many hurricanes of the past were underestimated or unrecorded, or we're really in a.....well, really bad cycle, to say the least. 2004 and 2005 have definitely been the worst two back to back years on record. I never thought I'd see anything like this.

OFFICIALLY, Hurricane Emily reached winds of 155 mph, almost a five but not quite. However, there is data that may indicate that between one advisory and the other, the storm could have reached cat. 5 for a few hours.
