Could be the same hurricane. Perhaps he'll tell us.
You're question is pretty easy, I think...there have only been 5 CAT 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic basin in the past 20 years, three of which were direct US hits (Isabel 03-Cat 2 at landfall; Andrew-Cat 5 at landfall, and Hugo,-Cat 4 at landfall). The two others were Gilbert in '88 (LOWEST pressure at 888 mb), which though it did not landfall in the US, it did head up into Texas as a TD. Gilbert And Mitch in '98 (pressure 905 mb), which, after doing a number on Central America, made it back into the GOM and hit the Gulf Coast of Florida as a TS. Mitch. Therefore, technically, ALL 5 Cat 5's have hit the US, only two did not strike the US directly. So I guess my two choices are Mitch or Gilbert. Normally I'd go with Mitch, but based on the fact that Gilbert had such a low pressure, I'll pick Gilbert. Am I right?
