Re: Ivan Strong Category 5. TD#10 Forms in Eastern Atlantic

Hurricane Gilbert had the lowest sea level pressure (888 Mb) ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere. Gilbert reached category 5 status, but at the time of it's landfall over Cozumel, Mexico it had weakened to a category 3 storm. Gilbert tracked northeast into Texas and Oklahoma.
