It’s official. The 252 MPH gust observed in Hurricane Melissa, moments before she made landfall in Jamaica, is the STRONGEST wind gust ever recorded by a Hurricane Hunter dropsonde on Earth.
It is almost unreal how extreme this storm was.

That literalllyyyyy stood on the frontline of the world’s scariest pandemic to save the lives of citizens in T&T and now, nowwww he’s being unfairly treated
Disgusting
CATEGORY 5 Hurricane Melissa now has unimaginably violent sustained winds of 185 MPH. Her blistering core pressure has cratered to 892 MBAR in the final moments before a cataclysmic landfall in Jamaica.
Melissa is now tied with the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane as the 3RD MOST INTENSE Atlantic Hurricane of all-time, and she is about to become the strongest landfalling storm in Atlantic Basin history.
Melissa turned West Pacific grade over the past hour. Sudden, explosive expansion of its Central Dense Overcast reminiscent of some of some of the top-tier western North Pacific super typhoons. T numbers above 7.5 in the Atlantic??? Almost unheard of!
