During 1957, five storms originated in the Gulf of Mexico, including major hurricane Audrey, which rapidly intensified, made landfall on June 27 and killed more than 400 people. The US hasn’t been hit by a hurricane during June in almost 40 years.
Jun 30, 1957, page 18 – The Tampa Tribune at Newspapers.com
In 1969, Hurricane Camille rapidly intensified and came ashore in Mississippi with sustained winds at least 190 MPH. According to NASA, temperatures in the Gulf Of Mexico were low that year.

all the science in the world can’t seem to explain why Tampa Bay St. Petes hasn’t been hit by a hurricane in 100 years. the forecast for Milton is a direct hit on Tampa St Pete’s. I’m not taking that bet. I think it’s safe to say that at
the last moment, hurricane Milton will veer away from Tampa St Pete, and land either to the South or the North of Tampa St Pete. it’s similar to the luck of the Bidens and the Clintons. When you think you’ve got them dead to rights, (criminally culpable).. and then you don’t.
I don’t understand the hype about Hurricane Milton. Nowhere can I find the high numbers of sustained wind speeds over 150 mph.
At the most it’s about 100 mph at sea level.
Of course that should be enough if I see how most residents live near the coastline
Yes, see my post 2 articles ago. Hurricane hunter ADS-B returns shows the wind speed at 10,000 feet to be about 110-120 mph as TEAL71 flew through the eyewall last evening when everyone was tearing their hair out about 185 mph wind speeds.:

(turn off the satellite view with menu at upper right, it was from the last data point, Then know that the maneuvering speed is roughly 245-255 mph above which structural failure will occur in turbulence and see the 4 penetrations of the eyewall, shows you the net wind speed) (ADS-B data is groundspeed as determined by GPS)
Thanks.
Or even much less than 100 mph if you want to believe Ventusky.
Even down here in the southern hemisphere, a day ahead of the USA – yes we are living in ‘the future’ – the Church of Climastrology’s use of superlative b.s. and cherry picked nonsense is firing on all cylinders full-steam ahead:
From Milton ‘barrelling’ and ‘tearing’ towards Florida… at 10 mph, which is more of a dawdle or a saunter or a snail’s pace; to Milton being the 9th ‘major’ hurricane this season (maybe the 3rd?), the biggest hurricane in 100 years (yeah right), being in the Atlantic Ocean (hello Gulf of Mexico), as well as printing an ISS image of Milton upside-down – perhaps they’re students of The Goracle who believes hurricanes spin clockwise (as our cyclones do down here).
As a finale to their fakery, our govt media claims Helene was the deadliest storm since Katrina in 2005… nineteen years ago! So much for bigger, faster, deadlier, gnarlier, off-the-scale, it’s all our fault, etc.
At least surfers along the Gulf coast are stoked there’s waves at their local beach after one of the QUIETEST HURRICANE SEASONS EVAAAH! Be safe y’all and enjoy the show.
They do happen periodically. Maybe this thing can take a turn southward, not to wish bad luck on anyone else, but we’ve had ours last week.
People are freaking out about two hurricanes striking Florida one right after another. Not unusual.
In 2004, Florida was hit by four named hurricanes in just six weeks. On August 13, hurricane Charley struck as a category 4. On September 5, Hurricane Frances made landfall as a category 2. On September 16, hurricane Ivan came ashore as a category 3. On September 26, Hurricane Jeanne made landfall as a category 3.
2004 is twenty years ago: for young climate zealots and mass-stupidity-media, that’s ancient history, the dark ages, sooooo loooong ago. For some of us with functioning memories, it’s like last week.
Ex-cyclone Gabrielle, downgraded to a ‘low’ 2 days before arriving in New Zealand on Valentine’s Day 2022, causing a bit of flooding in low-lying areas, is STILL referred to as a ‘cyclone’ two years on by green climate imbeciles, who were shocked a cyclone formed in the peak month of our Cyclone Season.
Ignorance isn’t bliss – it’s ignorance.
Michael Mann isn’t going to get his 33 storms this year so his new tactic is to call hurricane Milton a category 7, (he says Milton briefly exceeded a six even though there is no such thing as a category 6). soon we will know. is Milton one of the biggest most damaging hurricanes of all time? or is Milton going to end up causing damage typical of a cat 2 or 3. I say if it’s the latter, that’s all the proof we need that these storms are overhyped. Granted even a cat one can knock a tree down that can kill you so I’m not implying that any storm shouldn’t be taken seriously. https://nypost.com/2024/10/08/us-news/milton-reaching-max-limits-leads-to-calls-for-a-new-category-6-designation-for-hurricanes/
Category 6 is now a thing.
Not by any scientific standards but climate is not about science.
All of a sudden all of the media , as if driven by the same hidden hand ,
has started to call Milton category 6.
Therefore the narrative is establishing a new reality.
A glance at The weather channel homepage at 1:00 p.m. Central Time shows that Milton is now a category 3, with no eye wall. even though the ocean is boiling hot (according to some), it looks to me like the storm is falling apart
The media will decide wether it is falling apart.
Get ready for some fake news blaming damage from the previous Hurricane also on Milton.
” 2 category 7 Hurricanes hit the USA in a row.
Never happened before in US history.
Michael Mann will tell us why AGW is to blame and how how his missing 24 Hurricanes united (h / t) ziefle or vigurs ) to create these 2 super Hurricanes”
The way most people live in that part of the world just 1 metre above sea level you don’t need a 6 to flatten most houses.
Just checked Ventusky and it records the central pressure for Milton at 968HPa (it is just about to make landfall in Florida). Checking the well-established table for categorising cyclones/hurricanes this nominates Milton as currently being Cat-3 (956-970 hPa) but only just. Cat-2 (971 – 985 hPa). To be Cat-5 the central pressure must being below 929hPa. Mann as normal is taking the piss.
it’s now 6:00 p.m. eastern time. judging by the radar in Florida, Sarasota Florida should be getting the highest hurricane winds, and since climate expert Michael Mann says this hurricane is on the line between a cat 6 and 7, the winds in Sarasota should be 190 mph. I just checked and the winds at Sarasota are 38. no not 138. just 38 and expected to be at 58 in an hour. no not 158, just 58. no doubt this is a dangerous storm and take care but it’s not even a category one.
yes people I’m still on duty. lol. watching CNN, the weather guy just claimed that the wind was blowing in St Petersburg at 86 mph. here I am busy in the kitchen making Bob’s special stew, but I just knew I had to check and see if that was true because it sure sounds like BS to me. I asked my phone and I don’t know where the source is but it said the current wind in St Petersburg was 46. my phone is much more believable than CNN. I’m a big supporter of Free speech but so many of these lefties …all they do is lie lie lie I’m getting pretty sick of it
