What stands out most in my mind is the incredible activity in July. Had the remainder of the season continued in the same vein, we probably would've exhausted the Greek alphabet too! :lol:

Let's hope that 2005's records aren't broken in 2006 (or in our lifetimes for that matter).

Hurricane Wilma also underwent the most rapid deepening for a 24-hour period ever measured. At noon on October 18, Wilma had a central pressure of 980 millibars (28.93 inches). At noon on October 19, Wilma had a central pressure of 882 millibars (26.04 inches), a pressure fall of 98 millibars (2.89 inches). That breaks the world record of 92 millibars (2.71 inches) set by Super Typhoon Forrest in the Western Pacific in 1983.


WRONG!! In the Atlantic, yes, but not worldwide. Forrest strengthened 100 mb in 24 hours, not 92 mb. We missed the record by two millibars.

I think we should start offically calling cat 4 and 5 hurricanes, 'MAJOR HURRICANES' in the same manner they name intense typhoons, 'SUPER TYPHOONS.' Sure, they throw the term around, but it should show up in the record books that way.

09 GMT 10/18/05 15.7N 80.0W 70 982 Tropical Storm
09 GMT 10/19/05 17.2N 82.5W 175 884 Category 5 Hurricane

Technically, Wilma did tie Forrest with 100mb/24hr since the dropsonde measurement of 884mb was calibrated to 882mb but wasn't done until the next advisory.

Category 4 and 5 hurricanes are already called Major Hurricanes (plus some other adjectives like catastrophic, extreme, dangerous, etc.). The problem is that the term Supertyphoon was coined long before the SS scale came into being as a way to identify typhoons with sustained winds double the minimal typhoon winds. But this does not correlate with any category boundary in the SS scale.
