2004

The 2004 hurricane season was unprecedented for the time. There were a total of five storms that would impact Florida in just six weeks. In fact, two of the four, Frances and Jeanne, made landfall just 2 miles apart with only three weeks between them.

Fastest intensification from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane (1-minute sustained surface winds) – 24 hours
Wilma 2005 – 70 mph (110 km/h) to 175 mph (275 km/h) – from 0600 UTC October 18 to 0600 UTC October 19^[11]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Wilma Wilma started in a similar spot and strengthened faster then Milton.

If the above is true - and storms are getting worse and more frequent - Why Do these dates 20 years ago worse then this season?

Something everyone I would hope should understand - storms in the Gulf form faster and stronger due to warmer waters then the Atlantic.

We are at a peak in hurricane season, not because of global warming, but because through history we see more storms this time of year more often then others.
