Milton rapidly intensified to a Category 5 hurricane late Monday morning.

Within hours, Milton strengthened to a Category 2, then a Category 3, then a Category 4 and finally a Category 5.

Milton now ranks as the third-greatest 24-hour wind speed intensification for a hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. (Records are based on data since the satellite era began in the 1960s.)

    Honestly, the whole book would make a great miniseries. Probably too much for just one movie.

    Too bad Larry Niven is and Jerry Pournelle was such right-wing assholes, because their published some great stuff.
