Re: 4th grade homework hurricane question?

It's really, really tough to categorize "size" for hurricanes, mainly because we don't have those records before the satellite era in many cases. Intensity-wise, the strongest in terms of wind speed to hit the US is Camille (190mph); the strongest in terms of pressure was the 1935 Fl. Keys hurricane (892mb).

Great thanks to all who donated and everyone who uses the site as well. Site designed for 1920x1080+ resolution.
When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
