Patricia hit 215 in 2015 but She only fucked up the coastline of western Mexico so everyone forgot about Her pretty quickly so this storm still has a bit to go before it takes the all time Global Record for Sustained Windspeed.
Edit: also for MB the global record is Typhoon Tip in 79 with 870MB

10th worst of all time (in the Atlantic) by pressure
My bad, I'll correct myself, I guess it's top 5 worst of all time. Fifth-place for now. Awesome!

Comparing Atlantic Hurricanes to Pacific Typhoons is a tad unfair. Pacific storms get more room to play. I had forgotten about Patricia though.

Waffle Houses and other breakfast places that are on the same power grid as medical facilities will get their power back ASAP, but shouldn't be forcing their employees to come in that soon if their area was hit with hurricane force winds.
The roads need to stay clear for actual emergency responders and for FPL, not for non-essential workers as well as jackasses who didn't prepare for the storm and want to get a hot meal out but end up blocking the road when their car gets stuck in debris, floods or downed power lines.
(Unfortunately I don't think there's enough laws protecting employees in these circumstances)

July 28, 2017 article in the Washington Post predicting the damage a direct hurricane hit would have on Tampa:
Tampa Bay is mesmerizing, with 700 miles of shoreline and some of the finest white sand beaches in the nation. But analysts say the metropolitan area is the most vulnerable in the United States to flooding and damage if a major hurricane ever scores a direct hit.
A Boston firm that analyzes potential catastrophic damage reported that the region would lose $175 billion in a storm the size of Hurricane Katrina. A World Bank study called Tampa Bay one of the 10 most at-risk areas on the globe.
....
Worried that area leaders weren’t adequately focused on the downside of living in a tropic, the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council reminded them of the risks by simulating a worst-case scenario hurricane, a category 5 with winds exceeding 156 mph, to demonstrate what would happen if it entered the Gulf of Mexico and turned their way.
The fictitious Phoenix hurricane scenario projects that wind damage would destroy nearly half a million homes and businesses. About 2 million residents would require medical treatment, and the estimated death toll, more than 2,000, would top the number of people who perished from Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Florida’s most densely populated county, Pinellas, could be sliced in half by a wave of water. The low-lying county of about a million is growing so fast that there’s no land left to develop, and main roads and an interstate connecting it to Tampa get clogged with traffic even on a clear day.
“If a hurricane 4 or 5 hit us,” St. Petersburg City Council Chairman Darden Rice said, referring to the two highest category storms, “there’s no doubt about it. The plan is you’d better get out of Dodge.” (cut)

That makes it at least the second strongest Atlantic hurricane on record measured by windspeeds, just behind Allen of 1980.

We're all talking about florida but what the hell is it doing to the Yucatan peninsula? Is there any reports? This is when it's approaching its theoretical maximum strength right?

Mission 11 is heading in now. We may very well have the Number 1 on our hands.

Eyewall replacement cycle will happen tonight. That wind field is going to expand. Though you are correct the Yucatan should be okay for the most part. The worst of the surge is being pushed away from Mexico rather then towards it.

Miltons strongest winds are very tightly packed around it's small eye. It won't be until it's well past the Yucatan that it's wind field grows large.
