This was the situation just as Milton sat on the verge of crossing the technical lines from a CAT 4 to a CAT 5, with winds only 2 mph shy of the CAT 5 rating – which it quickly surpassed just following this report:
Hurricane Milton is undergoing one of the fastest rapid intensifications ever observed in the Atlantic.
It is now a 155 mph Category 4 storm, just 2 mph shy of Category 5 status.
Not a single weather model predicted the storm would strengthen this quickly. pic.twitter.com/lqX76Ryvqv
