HURRICANE WEATHER POLL

Post Reply New Topic

for you weather buffs out there

i see that i maby should have made this more clear

im talking about the hurricane last year that was the strongest with winds and pressure

technically the strongest hurricane in terms of sheer wind speed and intensity was wilma in 2005. her winds were somewhere at around 185 mph and 888 mbar(stronger than katrina by the way) at one point,but soon gradually declined with near landfall.

Of course katrina, was by far the strongest hurricane in terms it's impressive wind speeds(175 mph highest winds), damaging affect it had toward the physical region of new orleans as well the people living/lived there. Katrina I would say is by far the worst storm in terms of it's traumatic affect that has been done to the people of the usa particular residence or former residence of new orleans.

well pad thats were your wrong there was one more that was stronger then rita and katrina in the atlantinc basin this year

trongest Hurricane in the Atlantic Basin: Wilma 882 millibars (mb) (previous record: Gilbert at 888 mb)

Three of the six strongest hurricanes on record: Wilma 882 mb (1st), Rita 897 mb (4th), Katrina 902 mb (6th)

thanks for giving it away

Typhoon Tip, 1979. 870 mb, lowest pressure recorded in a cyclone.

yes that is the stronges one in the world major storm was 2000 miles accross

i am tlaking about the year 2005 and the atlantic basin but i should do one on the pacific basin storms as well

i've corrected my wrongness. Wilma was the strongest storm in terms of intensity in 2005 and in history. though katrina still stand out as the most damaging storm destroying the entire region of new orleans completely. this is why i feel it would be apprioate for me to vote katrina rather than wilma. katrina killed alot of people and just had an overall negative affect economically wise in the u.s.a.

yes it did pad did you hear it was downgraded to a strong cat3 not a cat 4
