Hurricane Melissa has been upgraded to a 190 mph Category 5 hurricane, tying Hurricane Allen as the strongest Atlantic hurricane on record by wind speed. With a minimum central pressure of 892 mb, this was both a historic and devastating storm.
Melissa’s peak intensity of 165 kt (190 mph) and 892 mb at 1200 UTC October 28 was based mainly on Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft data, supported by satellite estimates. The strongest winds likely occurred in a portion of the eyewall that reconnaissance aircraft were unable to fully sample, meaning the true peak may have been even more extreme.
