Hurricane Milton is getting all sorts of crazy, so we see
Hurricane Milton has unexpectedly intensified to Cat 5, with 160 mph winds, surprising meteorologists. Its rapid development raises concerns about reaching Cat 6 status soon.#HurricaneMilton will soon be a Cat 4 #hurricane and will hit Florida's this wed. pic.twitter.com/sGynRGBFRv

And there’s plenty of that on Twitter. And, even news weenies
Could Hurricane Milton become a Category 6? Why does the NHC’s scale stop at 5?
Hurricane Milton was just a tropical storm a day ago but it powered up incredibly quickly, forming a hurricane Sunday afternoon and surging up into a dangerous Category 5 hurricane within 24 hours as it crosses the very warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Forecasters from the National Hurricane Center say some weakening is anticipated before it slams into Florida’s west coast Wednesday. But that kind of rapid intensification is frightening.
If it keeps going, would Category 5 be enough to describe it? Do we need to add a Category 6?
Some experts say yes, but don’t expect to see one any time soon.
Of course they do, because it allows them to fearmonger
Hurricane Allen in 1980 reached maximum sustained winds of 190 mph. The “Labor Day” hurricane, in 1935, Hurricane Gilbert, in 1988, Hurricane Dorian in 2019, and Hurricane Wilma in 2005 all reached maximum sustained winds of 185 mph.
You also have the 1938 hurricane that hit Long Island in late September, with reports of 180 mile per hour winds. Though, since it was 1938 no one really has full data, especially as to whether that was sustained or gusts. Particularly since the wind gauge broke.
Hurricane Milton Hits Cat 5: Is It Time To Consider A Category 6?
No. Including the reason that the formatting at your website is atrocious. Seriously, the Warmists have been yapping about this for a few years, and their whole rational is to present ‘climate change’ as doom, despite giant hurricanes happening periodically.
If Milton makes landfall, it’s gonna be “Paradise Lost”
I wonder if after seeing 2 really bad disasters if some people are going to start thinking ” maybe those climate wackos are right about that climate change thing” might it affect voting ?
Sure. Just as soon as you climate whackos look at 100 years of storm records and say “maybe those guys who aren’t climate whackos were right along”. 2 storms is not “climate change” any more than 4 straight years without a storm is “lack of climate change”. Time to take the politics out of it and use all those recovery assets for why we created them. P.S. Fort Bragg still has thousands of military generators, thousand of trucks, hundreds of pieces of heavy engineer equipment, hundreds of tons of emergency supplies and units that can create drinking water. All just sitting there doing nothing. All it would take is a president who was actually sentient to put them to work.
Do you really believe people are that poorly informed and naïve to believe a couple storms in storm season is any indication of global destruction? Like there’s never been a summer/fall where more hurricanes haven’t occurred? And do you think they are so weak of mind and easily fooled as to vote differently because of storms? Especially since these storms are Biden/Harris fault and are on their watch? After all if you actually are dumb enough to believe the government can control the weather then you surely must believe Biden/Harris failed as leaders.
