Hurricane Humberto Was Historic

This is from "senior hurricane specialist James Franklin of the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami- FL:

"To put this development in perspective - no tropical cyclone in the historical record has ever reached this intensity at a faster rate near landfall. It would be nice to know, someday, why this happened."

Humberto went from a small area of scattered showers and thunderstorms to a full-blown Cat-1 hurricane with winds of 85 m.p.h. in less than 24 hours. So far- there is one death attributed to Humberto.
