Continental United States hurricane strikes 1950–2022. The list of United States hurricanes includes all tropical cyclones officially recorded to have produced sustained winds of greater than 74 mph (119 km/h) in the United States, which is the minimum threshold for hurricane intensity.
Hurricane Opal, the most intense Category 4 hurricane recorded, intensified to reach a minimum pressure of 916 mbar (hPa; 27.05 inHg), [54] a pressure typical of Category 5 hurricanes. [55] Nonetheless, the pressure remains too high to list Opal as one of the ten strongest Atlantic tropical cyclones. [ 11 ]
The strongest tropical cyclone recorded worldwide, as measured by minimum central pressure, was Typhoon Tip, which reached a pressure of 870 hPa (25.69 inHg) on October 12, 1979. [2] Furthermore, on October 23, 2015, Hurricane Patricia attained the strongest 1-minute sustained winds on record at 185 knots (95 m/s; 215 mph; 345 km/h). [3]
^α Although Luis produced the highest confirmed wave height for a tropical cyclone, it is possible that Hurricane Ivan produced a wave measuring 131 feet (40 m). [41]^β It is believed that reconnaissance aircraft overestimated wind speeds in tropical cyclones from the 1940s to the 1960s, and data from this time period is generally considered unreliable.

September 26 – Hurricane Helene made landfall at peak intensity near the mouth of the Aucilla River southwest of Perry as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 140 mph (220 km/h), becoming the strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall in the Big Bend region on record, as well as the third hurricane to make landfall in the area ...
Several recorded Category 5 hurricanes reached that intensity multiple times during their lifetime. Hurricanes Allen in 1980, Isabel in 2003 and Ivan in 2004 each soared to Category 5 intensity ...
