'Here We Go Again'Hurricane Milton cat 4-5 heads towards Tampa

[putnam6]

Here's veteran John Morales getting upset and mentioning climate change as the cause for Milon's intensity.  

Im not as sure as he is that climate change is behind the intensity when we have had historical hurricanes when we weren't such filthy industrialists.  6 of these miscellaneous hurricane and tropical storm records occurred prior to 1973 if it were SOLEY climate change would we have more records in the last 20 years.

Im not even going to get into the well-known El Niño and La Niña weather patterns, sure there is some effect but no indications it's the driving force here.Thoughts?

This low is dropping and dropping. 910 Mb and 175 MPH 905 Mb and 180 MPH wind. The pressure of the Labor Day Hurricane was 892.

I hope for this one to be one of those storms that looks really scary but gets weakened a little, enough to spare the wind damage.

This is low pressure, and like Katrina it's not going to lose it's Cat 5 surge, even making landfall at Cat 3 (as predicted)

Scary is it's going to be between a Katrina and a Labor Day Storm.

At this point it's just sending a general thought of "may everyone have the best luck possible."

Pressure down to 897 here's hoping it weakens significantly before land fall
