This morning, Hurricane Patricia became the strongest storm ever recorded, according to the US National Hurricane Center. Wind speeds have reached up to 200 miles per hour — the highest a hurricane can theoretically sustain. The Category 5 hurricane is also measuring the lowest pressure on record, between 880 and 881 millibars. That record was previously held by 2005's Hurricane Wilma, which had a pressure measured at 882 millibars.
