Was Hurricane Michael more powerful than Andrew, Katrina and Maria?
With its low air pressure, Hurricane Michael unofficially sits as the third-strongest landfalling hurricane to strike the United States.
Having such a tremendously low air pressure typically causes storms to have strong winds, and Michael was no exception.
Hurricane Hunters from the Air Force and NOAA estimated Michael's lowest pressure was 919 MB at landfall. The only two hurricanes with a lower pressure at landfall to hit the United States were the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 and Camille of 1969.
