It likely WOULD have been worse had it hit anywhere. It is NOW forecast to hit and incredible 180 mph, very rare echelon territoty, rare stuff that belongs with the greatest hurricanes of all time. It DOUBLED from 80 to 160 in just EIGHTEEN(18)HOURS!! It likely has set an all-time Atlantic Ocean record for the fastest Rapid Intensifier on record; the greatest amount of R.I. in the shortest amount of time; probably set a record for fastest milibar drop in 24 hours or less; fastest pressure drop in the shortest amount of time; it could even rival the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane if it hits 180 or higher, rivaling its' wind speed record and lowest pressure record. Certainly it's gonna be as intense as Irma was at its' peak. It will be more intense than Michael, and at least as intense as Mitch. Only great Pacific hurricanes and typhoons are up in this eschelon of wind speed and low pressure, should Lee attain this monstrous wind speed. Patricia briefly blew a 220 mph sustained wind at its' peak. Let's see how far THIS one will go. Think of the wave heights on beaches at the Bahamas or Bermuda because of this intense storm, even if it's hundreds of miles distant!! Think of the wave heights at the eyewall!! Not a good time to be anywhere on a boat, LOL!!
I'm so glad it's going to miss FL 🌺
Hopefully it will miss land altogether 🌊
Laura T. if you have read this article, your state has been spared. Your state is safe.
And I am deeply relieved as this one looks to be worse than Ian.
