Rapid intensification
Sat Jun 05 2004 06:04 PM

I was looking at some past archives when I came across Hurricane Anita in 1977 - a hurricane that in 18 hours exploded from Category 2 strength to a 150kt Category 5. Has there ever been a faster instance of intensification in the Atlantic basin?

What are the conditions needed to favour such explosive development?

Thanks!
