Re: Major Hurricane Michael Approaches the Panhandle

I think it was Andrew. Later revised to a Cat 5 right before landfall.

“Revised data in 2002 uncovered that at its height Andrew was packing 165-mile-per-hour winds, which kicked it up to a Category 5 instead of a Category 4.”

“In the United States, this century, only the Labor Day (Keys') Storm in 1935 [103K GIF] (892 mb) and Hurricane Camille in 1969 [122K GIF] (909 mb) had lower landfall central pressures than Andrew (Hebert et al. 1992).”
