How strong was the biggest hurricane ever?

Answer 1

The strongest hurricane in the us history is Florida Keys Labor Day Hurricane. One of just three Category 5 Hurricanes to make landfall in the US, the Great Labor Day Storm had a minimum pressure of 892 millibars (26.35 inches). It caused 423 deaths in Florida. It is also noted as the world's strongest hurricane. The year was 1935...before names were given.

Answer 2

Hurricane Allen (1980) is the second of only two hurricanes in the recorded history of the Atlantic basin to achieve sustained winds of 190 mph (310 km/h), after Hurricane Camille in 1969.In the eastern Pacific, Hurricane Patricia (2015) attained sustained winds of 200 mph (320 km/h).

Hurricane Wilma (2005) was the most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Atlanic basin in terms of air pressure. The pressure measured in Wilma, 882 mb, is currently the lowest recorded pressure for a tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Basin, as well as the lowest pressure for any cyclone measured in the Western Hemisphere. It also reached its 882 mb pressure in a span of 24 hours, making it the fastest pressure drop of any storm in the Atlantic Basin. At its peak intensity, the eye of Wilma was about 3 miles (5 km) in diameter, the smallest known eye of an Atlantic hurricane. Late on October 21 Wilma made landfall on Cozumel and later on the Mexican mainland with winds of about 150 mph (240 km/h).

But the lowest pressure in any cyclone on Earth was recorded in Typhoon Tip at 870mb in October 1979. It also had sustained winds of 190 miles per hour, and did considerable damage in Guam and Japan. Tip had a diameter of 1,380 miles, which made it was the largest hurricane ever in addition to the strongest (in terms of pressure).

Answer 3

In terms of barometric pressure it was Hurricane Wilma in 2005. The wind were 185 mph (295 kph). The pressure was 882 mbar.

IN terms of wind speed it was Hurricane Camille in 1969 with winds of 190 mph. Winds may have even exceeded 200 mph, but wind instruments in the path of this storm were destroyed.

Answer 4

The strongest would be measured in speed at landfall. Hurricane Camille of 1969 had the highest wind speed at landfall at an estimated 190 miles per hour when it struck the Mississippi coast. This wind speed at landfall is the highest ever recorded worldwide. Actual maximum sustained winds will never be known because the hurricane destroyed all the wind-recording instruments in the landfall area. Columbia, Mississippi, located 75 miles inland, reported 120 mph sustained winds.

Answer 5

Hurricane Irma was also the strongest storm to come out of the ocean. I forget which one though.

Answer 6

The biggest hurricane is Typhoons Tip, the strongest, or most intense storm is Hurricane Patricia.

Answer 7

starts with an O

Answer 8

The Great Labor Day Storm

Answer 9

Hard choice but Irma was cat 5 but I don’t think it was the strongest

Answer 10

I guess it will be Galveston
