Hurricane Milton is only 10 MPH below the most intense Atlantic hurricane in history, based on one-minute sustained wind speed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_most_intense_tropical_cyclones#North_Atlantic_Ocean

It’s at 180 MPH now, Allen was 190 MPH. The worldwide record is 215 MPH (Patricia in the Eastern Pacific in 2017).

Be safe, Florida friends.
