184MPH Flight Level Winds! Unprecedented

[Bill Tabor]

Pressure is now lower than Camille at 902mb. Flight level winds of 184mph with 175mph at ground level still maintained.

Comments about Historical significance.

The latest Vortex message shows 902mb with 160kt (185 mph) winds. Katrina may give Gilbert a run for his SLP money...

It's incredible. Not just to have this one Hurricane but all of the major Hurricanes we have had in the last two years. Certainly we are in a climotological max for the development of Hurricanes.
