Strongest U.S. Hurricanes

Labor Day Hurricane of 1935: 185-mph in Florida
Hurricane Camille (1969): 175-mph in Mississippi
Hurricane Andrew (1992): 165-mph in Florida
Hurricane Michael (2018): 155-mph in Florida
Hurricane Ida (2021): 150-mph in Louisiana;
Hurricane Laura (2020): 150-mph in Louisiana;
Hurricane Charley (2004): 150-mph in Florida;
1932 Freeport Hurricane: 150-mph in Texas;
1919 Florida Keys Hurricane: 150-mph in Florida
Noted Charlie and Andew. Both were fast moving small storms. Ian just hit with 155 mph and affected much larger area of Florida and was in SW Florida for hours. No matter what happens, $ amounts of damages will increase exponentially due to more and more people moving into Florida.
