    This Cat-4 started just down by the Yucatan and worked up 140mph-sustained winds in a couple of days over the Gulf of Mexico. I’m wondering how common that’s been before.

      They usually die down before or shortly after landfall. But the oceans are warmer now giving the hurricanes enery to go go go go

      Iirc, powerful hurricanes are pretty normal, but the changing climate is letting them stay around longer
