From Tropical Storm to Cat 5 in under 24 hours... Holy shit. I mean, should we just go ahead and evacuate for tropical storms now? There is no time to prep for the worst when storms intensify to such extremes so quickly.
TL;DR : Hurricane Patricia from 2015 will be compared with Otis, but it'll take researchers years to figure out the how and why their prediction models failed to see this.

Cat 1 starts at 74mph and cat 5 at 157mph. I've never heard of this fast of an intensification in my 36 years

Hyper-intensification seems to be the new normal.
Well, until 2030 when we upgrade to ultra-hyper-intensification.

It's like the earth is using cheat codes to get rid of us

Is the cheat code “f°551L Fu3L5”?

Wonder how often this has happened? Time to spiral down a rabbit hole.
